Empezando de Cero

I apologize to the absent ones
Although no one cares, in the end
I saw the tide take away
My drawings in the sand

Facing the waves
I was just a child
With the sad tear
Of being misunderstood

And they are not scars
It's the Moon that now laughs
At this February birthday
At what I learned back then

I'm counting failed caresses
While I heal my big wounds
And I ask God daily to help me
Even if it's a tiny story
With eyes tightly closed I read
The chapters of an old book
I don't even know who I am and I can't find words
To teach me how to speak today anew
Starting from zero

At your age, it was even hard for me to just run
But suddenly dad looked at me proudly
As you now usually do

I'm counting failed caresses
While I heal my big wounds
And I ask God daily to help me
Even if it's a tiny story
With eyes tightly closed I read
The chapters of an old book
I don't even know who I am and I can't find words
To teach me how to speak today anew
Starting

As if all those fears
Gathered to celebrate
That cursed agony
That tells me that one doesn't die here
Because we still have life

I'm counting failed caresses
While I heal my big wounds
And I ask God daily to help me
Even if it's a tiny story
With eyes tightly closed I read
The chapters of an old book
I don't even know who I am and I can't find words
To teach me how to speak today anew
Starting from zero
