TWO SHOTS OF TEQUILA

I needed two shots of Tequila

one for my soreness

another for my loneliness

so i could lay in the sofa 

one leg hanged on the table

and my brain soaring in the clouds.

I felt like a naked body

my ribs quivering of cold

my feet numb,

like the snow is stuck between my toes

For i needed warmth

not from a bonfire

just a soft forehead kiss to put me to sleep.

Nobody was there

the walls extended from my side

and everything became blurry

only a half full bottle was there for the best

i praised the smell of it

so intense and chocking

as i poured dizzily in the glass.

Then i gave a toast to the emptiness 

and kissed the pain in my chest

as i closed my eyes to the burns in my throat

My grief melted at the first shot

and i felt a grip on my shoulder at the last

I heard a voice as i was drowning,

whispering "you are not alone"

 

AN OLD LOVE SONG

He sounds like an old love song
The kind that calms the sea shores
Resting my soul like a young girl on a swing
His voice rhyming words that won't let mine spell the truth.

He feels like the wind

The kind that blows your hair

But you can't catch it in your hands

It just pushes your heart away.

He's stuck on the land of my dreams
But i can't touch his face
There's a high wall between his fingers and mine
My body feels transparent in his eyes
He only sees girls with opaque beauties.

I feel like the air
cause i' m always here,
but he never sees me
he knows my presence,
but i' m a book of silence.
