fragmentos

Love, I found your letters on the floor
Fragments of what we were in the midst of solitude
Now I'm sitting on the porch, looking at the moonlight
With questions that time cannot erase
(Can't erase)

Certain wounds sleep under the skin
Some pains never show their face
But I see you dancing with shadows
While teaching me to stay at the position
(Stay at the position)

I remember seeing you in the mirror, fixing your hair
There was something in your gaze that led me to your secret
Sunday nights, you changed the subject by remembering
From times before me that I never wanted to explain
I once saw you burning letters in the backyard
The flames devouring a past so loyal
I asked what was burning, and you just smiled at me
Said: Some papers, love, better left for last

Certain wounds sleep under the skin
Some pains never show their face
But I see you dancing with shadows
While teaching me to stay at the position
(Stay at the position)

I found your diary in the dust of the basement
Pages torn like a scream without solution
Dates you never wanted to tell
Years that turned into silence difficult to carry
I started to notice the patterns in the way you loved me
Don't trust so easily, that's what he kept teaching me
You held me close, as if the past would come back
To take the light you fought to conquer

Certain wounds sleep under the skin
Some pains never show their face
But I see you dancing with shadows
While teaching me to stay at the position
(Stay at the position)

Now I've grown up, reading stories in your distant gaze
In the way you avoided a more constant gesture
Taught me to be strong before saying: I love you
And in every hidden tear, left what I never call
Sometimes I hear your voice in the echo of this empty house
Like a scratched record, playing melancholy
As I gather the pieces of the truth you hid
In the spaces where your smile almost died

So, love, this letter is for the person who lost
Between chapters that time never returned
Your strength is a poem written in darkness
And my love is the light that still guards your heart
