Be mine. Candy Heart.

I'm tired, exhausted. I no longer need to close my eyes to sleep, to dream but I need to in order to rest.
And I don't want to go to sleep without looking into your eyes.

Link.

I don't want to fight any longer, not against you. However, I can't quite easily give up fighting for you.
I am sick, and confused. You've made a mess of my mind but I'm afraid there's no cure for your illness. I am host of the most powerful virus, you.

I know your vision of the world and am flattered to know you find my special from the crowd.
It hasn't exactly been said by your mouth but I've known, all this time.
What else is there out there? When in your eyes, I'm pretty, I'm bright.
You make me shine, you make me smile and all I need is you tonight.

I'll keep fighting. I won't give up.
If your feelings for her were real, you wouldn't have kept it all this time.
So let me try, let me try.
Put your lips next, close to mine's.
All there is, right here, right now
is you and me, lover's in the night.

(A weird diary-poem-song; for you, my love.)

Noveau.

No comprendo.
Huh, para ser honesta, jamás te he comprendido.
Y ahora menos.

He alcanzado ese punto que desde el principio temí pisar. La cima de la montaña, la vista perfecta de lo que creía paraíso.
Los resultados son poco agradables. Los frondosos árboles se han derrumbado, los extensos campos de flores ya se han marchitado, el mar cuyo sonido antes escuchaba se ve demasiado lejos y oscuro, turbio y perturbador, hasta un punto aterrador.
Todo lo haces tú. He dejado de escuchar tu dulce voz murmurar canciones, dejaste de escribirle poemas al cielo azul, al espumoso oleaje.  Dejaste de convencerme de que sentía la brisa y la sal, que ahora descubro como hormigas reinas, rojas, enfurecidas sobre mi ardiente piel.

Entonces con firmeza las sacudo y con una última, triste mirada a aquella tierra, me despido. Te beso las dos mejillas de ser necesario y renuncio a todo, aceptando de brazos abiertos tu silencio.
Tu ausencia, tu desaparición.

Support.

"Who are you?" I ask in silence, staring to him, through him.
He looks at me with that beautiful smile I love slowly fading on his lips. "What?"
I stay quiet and turn around.
"Well, it isn't my fault you're... you're... moody! That is."
"Huh. I am moody? I cannot believe you said that."
"But it is true. You're... angry at me for no reason or you're angry and taking it out with me! You shouldn't. I can help you."
I close my eyes in deep disbelief. I couldn't hold on tighter to my first question, who-was-he?
"You can help me by listening and understanding that I haven't been and am not angry. I am not angry."
"Well then you've had a bad day and you're blaming me about it."
I turn around, in sudden anger.
"It is not fair! Yes. I believe that it isn't" My voice went up a few levels and I make the best effort to keep myself calm. "You're... you haven't been fair to me. You know I'm worried and nervous... there has not been a day since the beginning of the year that I don't freak at some time of the day. I freak and panic and worry. I do. I will, but you don't understand that. And you say nothing! But I am pretty sure you think I am stupid for wasting so much... mind, time on that! I can't think of anything else. It's my future in the line even if you don't like it or don't care."

I wish you helped.
I wish you believed in me a little bit more.
And I wish I wasn't as selfish to wish for that.

Shadows.

I think the main problem is that no matter how much I try, I keep remembering.
I remember how it slowly got darker and darker. How you smiled and played with me, making me laugh, making me scream. How you took me into your arms and turned the world around.
And how you were there for me. How you still are, sometimes.
How you kindly offered, without knowing it meant so much, and helped me face a weird kind of fear.

And the problem is, I remember us walking. Nearly running, side by side, a little chat. How you offered your arm to me and I took it. And you kept walking and so did I.
And then we found what we were looking for and we came back. And all I could think of was that you were there. Or I wish that had been all I could think of.
Trouble is, it wasn't. It was in my head, somewhere, buzzing around. Still, not strong enough. And I remember but the memory is hardly what is should be. It's not special, it's not magical. It just was. It was nice. It is nice to the day.

Is that all? Will we remain forever nice and never magical? Never special.
At least I believe so because you keep doing things without knowing that it means so much.

Bloom.

Winter is finally here or has been for a week. Winter is said to be the time when flowers meet their final destiny and die only to reborn again. It's a time for new opportunities or the perfect time to sleep some long lost or lack off.

And we're here today to prove it right.

I wonder, have you ever felt this strange/ strong affection for someone?
I have. Most recently, I must say. The kind of 'love' that makes you feel important in someone's eyes and strong. A certain someone who is granted the importance of your feelings and takes part of your life. He or she is suddenly capable of taking decisions or advice that actually matter in your life.
They are no longer outsiders and if the exchange works, you suddenly find yourself in need of more. Sometimes you find yourself thinking about what's next, what unexpected or planned activity will lead you to their arms. You hope to get close.
It's like a world that slowly builds up, accompanied by your expectations and your hopes rise to heaven like Wall Street only to find winter.
Whatever happens to feelings and joy and crushes during winter? Maybe there's a reason why they're called 'crush'-es. Maybe it's because since the very beginning, they're meant to crush. And fall. And unavoidably, die.
Like a flower that seemed so beautiful, a lucky one that made it through fall (autumn.) It was kept alive with an exhausting amount of time and care but with the bitter cold, they can no longer endure.
No matter how much you try.

I was so sure about how I felt for you. How I... fell for you but the winter break has left a gap in my life and I am not talking about 6-to-8 free hours a day. You once made me feel strong and confident and important. You made me jealous. You reminded me of sidekicks. But now, as days go by winter builds up, stronger than the way you did in my mind. Perhaps its the cold that left you on 'freezing' mode but I highly doubt you will ever seem as important.
Too bad because I can tell a number of people who had their bets on you.

Mistake over mistake or was it the same mistake again?

Y vuelvo porque tengo algo que sacar, algo que suavemente se hunde cuando cree salir, algo que se pierde como un cuerpo en las arenas movedizas, estando tan cerca de estar a salvo, la profundidad me succiona de nuevo a su lodoso, arenoso interior.

¿Qué estuvo mal? No sé si fue decirlo, porque me siento mejor. Sentirlo, todavía me es inevitable. Esa incómodidad, esa sensación de ser el producto sobrante, esa falta de carácter donde te hace falta, que se acumula en alguna otra parte que en el momento adecuado, poco recuerdas.  Esto funciona de la misma manera. 
Y me siento mal, no de compartirtelo, parece lo adecuado, se siente tan bien. Lo que se siente fuera de esa sensación casi propia del cielo y de estar entre nubes, es que te hago culpable, te dejo con restos de ideas que me escondes y para saber lo que pasa por tu mente.
No quiero que me valga para el nunca de nuevo. Quiero hacerlo, volver a intentarlo, quiero retarme una vez más, quiero enfrentar al brutal, tremendo, intimidante dragón con la misma armadura, la misma espada pero con mayor habilidad, mayor fuerza y decisión. Decidida estoy de que eso lo cambiaría todo, mi suerte ante la poco favorable situación seria diferente. 

Y aun así he salido vencedora. En una pieza, al menos. ¡Mejor que situaciones anteriores! Quiero que diga el cartel que anuncie mi victoria. No he conseguido la cabeza del dragón, ni un trofeo o su equivalente pero he evadido las armas mortales más fieras -o dado el caso, a las que más les temía. 
Aunque en letras pequeñas les informo que si he salido herida, aunque levemente, lo han conseguido. Evadirles. Permítanme un instante con aquella palabra. 
No, no es la adecuada. Caí. Rotundamente he caido en sus trampas pero he escapado a mayor velocidad, tan solo sentí los tentáculos del vicio, me he esforzado a dejarme libre. Adiós a las garras de la bestia. Libertad, lucho por ti con cada gota de mi cuerpo, cada cabello que cubre mi cráneo. 

Lamento muchísimo, lider, oh gran rey, oh gran reina. Te he fallado en mi misión como soldado y no es que la armadura me venga larga o el entrenamiento me venga corto. No quiero decepcionarle, no quiero que piense que ha sido usted la que ha fallado.
Me inclino a disculparme y renuevo mis votos, mis esfuerzos no morirán sin una justa pelea. 
Y usted debe permitirme un viaje milésimo en busca de mi victoria, ahora personal. Siempre tan personal. 
Venceré. Ganaré mi gloria bien merecida. Dejaré detrás todo aquello que en alguna ocasión perturbo la mente de tan concentrado caballero. 
Y aun en este viaje llevo su nombre, su corona en alto. Lo hago acompañada de su majestad, de su grandeza. 

Olvide todo aquello que perturba su mente o acongoja su corazón, porfavor. Deme tiempo y prometo, aseguro lo mejor de mi y en mi próximo duelo, algo más parecido a una victoria.

Playground.

I felt guilt.

I felt badly for my undone, unspoken crimes. They took place in my mind, they became real. I was a criminal, hidden away from your sight and melting away under another sun.
For the first time ever, I truly spoke about you and now, after that, you feel so less real. You've become a blurry dream, one I am unsure I ever dreamed.

There's a side of me that seeks comfort in your eyes, upon your gaze, between your arms. Where is that side now? It feels lost but yet, it's here.
For the first time in what looks like a lifetime, I had a dream and it had nothing to do with you.

We were together, as we usually are. We, not us. We were never alone. We lived surrounded by friends, family, a driver.
In my dream, we walked together side by side and on a cab, traveling somewhere. We drove past a known clothing store, I laughed only wishing to become the echo of your own laughter.
He was joking and I poked at him, we played. We were children playing around.
Strange enough, we arrived somewhere and a kids party was being hosted but we had our own game. We hid, we walked, we discovered the house, the farm, whatever the place was.
My family began asking questions about you, about an non existent 'us'. I frowned, I freaked.

I tried to find you. I ran, I looked and I found your eyes. We grew closer and closer, your eyes still meeting mine, our eyes locked. I could even feel you breathing heavily.
My heart didn't rush, it raced nowhere. It kept calm and moved on. It has never been truly you, never completely him.

We didn't kiss. I pulled apart.
You did too. You were late, you were supposed to be home by seven.
We drove back to your house, I couldn't get away from you. I don't know why, I can't explain. I just wanted to keep sharing with you.
We were there, again, never alone. You live in a green complex, as many others. Your parents where angry and their tongues felt like a burning hell. Your friends- who were somehow there- and I, we stood by your side.
And just then I woke up.
