A poet's blink

Everybody knows that there are gifted people for everything, ok, but what not all know is that a pack of them flock together in 4º B-C bilingual this year and every now and then they give us some bits of their talent.

Today our friend Paula R. Bolonio shares with us a part of her lyric sense with a couple of poems in English language. Hope you like them

DARLING

Why do you look so sad, my darling?

Doesn’t the light shine where you are?

I’ll bring you light

And make things alright

Doesn’t the girl listen to you anymore?

I’ll bring you tissues to wipe your eyes

I’ll comfort you and ask why

Why do you hurt yourself, my darling?

Does nobody believe in you anymore?

I’ll bring band aids to put on your wounds

And I’ll give you love like I always did

Why did you leave me, my darling?

Did her lies become too much?

I give you love and tell her to stop

But I guess It’s not enough

BRIGHTER

Laying her makes me think

Of everything that we could be

If I was brighter

And you were too

Maybe I could have a better future with you

But I’m your trophy wife

While you go out and party all night

I make you look good even If you’re not

I make people believe your temper isn’t that hot

For you I do everything

I cover up my bruises

So, no one notice a thing

But, I really wish we could worked

Because of you, right now,

I’m in hospital to die
