Maudlin
her clothes were soaked with mildew
ropes burned their way through her fragile, thin wrists
i stood over her waiting to see if she was going to live or die
i remember her screaming and scratching at my arms
while i was tying her wrists behind her back
she was kicking her legs up and down in my direction
trying to prevent me from knotting the ropes
"stop crying" i screamed in her face
"you took me for granted this time...
...how could you have done this to me?"
i said as i punched the ground beside her until fists were sore and bloody
"honey, this could've all been different if you had wanted it to be..."
i gently whispered in her ear
"i don't care what you want anymore...
...this is what i want now..."
don't offer me anything
you will be wasting your breath
Melancólica
su ropa estaba empapada de moho
cuerdas quemaban su camino a través de sus frágiles y delgadas muñecas
yo estaba parado sobre ella esperando ver si iba a vivir o morir
recuerdo sus gritos y arañazos en mis brazos
mientras le ataba las muñecas detrás de la espalda
ella pateaba sus piernas arriba y abajo en mi dirección
tratando de evitar que anudara las cuerdas
"deja de llorar" le grité en la cara
"me diste por sentado esta vez...
...¿cómo pudiste hacerme esto?"
le dije mientras golpeaba el suelo junto a ella hasta que los puños estaban adoloridos y ensangrentados
"cariño, todo esto podría haber sido diferente si hubieras querido..."
le susurré suavemente en el oído
"ya no me importa lo que quieras...
...esto es lo que yo quiero ahora..."
no me ofrezcas nada
estarás desperdiciando tu aliento
