You're a goddess, Goddess

And I don't know how to tell you,

When I'm in the room with you,

I have to pretend that

I don't look at you the way

I do, but I do.

And I want you,

And I lust you,

And I dream you,

And I fuck you.

In reality, I walk beside you,

I laugh with you,

I keep quiet,

I tell my libido

To stop its crying because

this is all we get.

Friendship and a kiss on the cheek.

Smiling and being sweet,

when all I want is to open those

thighs and spread myself like butter

on the silky honey of your skin.

But I'm a good girl. It's true.

Nothing raw. Everything cooked.

Always polite, don't talk back unless

I'm mad. That's how it will be and I'll

get out of here, before you

notice that my eyes are not

your friends, but the fierce

reflectors of my desire, that

camp outside the fire

that's inside of me for you still.

About the Physical

About the Physical

I saw you.

Your heels went: “click, click”

And I turned.

It was you.

I saw your legs,

I saw your thighs

And my mind knew,

Without seeing your face

It was you.

I got to your chest,

And I remembered those nights.

It was you.

I didn’t need to see your face.

There was no getting away,

My brain didn’t forget

Those times of desire and flesh.

I got to your face.

Flawless makeup,

Perfect eyes,

Perfect profile.

My heart went haywire

And I froze.

I broke all over again.

My mouth didn’t know what to say,

And I wondered if I could go back

To those days,

Where I became so hurt

And had to walk away.

I would never ask you,

I know we’re far away.

But my mind is a disaster

Thinking in past tense

Of the present we didn’t get to forget.

And it hurts.

I got to work and I cried.

Nine months, I told a friend,

And my tears still roll

For the woman who broke my heart

And was supposed to be my wife.

Mami

I see you look at me

Like the toy you never had when you were a little kid

I see you staring at my lips and looking at my hands.

I look up and you bite your lip

I know what you want

And I know how to give it to you.

But don't worry, mami.

Nothing's going to happen

between you and I,

I'm not a cheater, even if you are.

Go home to your husband or whoever you have

I don't trust you

and I wouldn't want to anyhow

You look good

You did well tonight

My fingers desire to travel

the excess of your sweat

I can feel you getting close

I can tell you’re getting moist

But don't you worry, mami

I won't take you to heaven tonight

Maybe read a book or two on how to

rekindle the flame

But don't use me. I'm not a toy although

I would toy around with you,

but that ring tells me

that you entered into

something sacred

and I wouldn't want it done to me.

And although I can already hear you scream

And although I can already feel your skin

And although I can already taste your inner being

Please, go home. Or go home with someone else,

but not me.

How painful is the night

4120

How painful is the night

On this painful night

of the deepest stars,

my tears won't stop

thinking about my fears,

and the easy mind

becomes a wreck of vivid emotions

with memories

and the mistakes of our time

Oh! How painful is the night,

either laying with a stranger who bares your soul,

or with you, empty and still.

My tears flow without knowing

the future

and I trust the good Lord

and the source of life

that joy will enter my heart again

on this painful night

I tell you I miss you

but there's a void on the other side

My choice was simple but strong

and now the pain of this hurtful night

tells me I'm human and that I miss you

with all of my soul

How painful is this night

You're too far gone

somewhere I don't belong

and I can't bring you back

until you try it on your own,

but how painful it is to know

I can't help you at all

How painful is this night

How painful is tonight

In these arms

8675

In these arms

In these arms you'll say I do

In these arms you'll explain to me

that our love

Is the best thing in the world

and that no one before me

has gotten so close

And these arms

only beg you

to stay by my side

There's no chance

in this world

That surrounds our love

that these arms

Will part from you

When I saw you

I knew you were special

But I didn't know you'd be

The biggest part of me

and now I see us only together

for the rest of this life

and of course the next

Sometimes trouble happens, it's true.

But don't be fooled, my love

these arms are strong

these arms hold on

And you, stay by my side.

Stay and you'll see

that these arm were meant to bring

happiness to only one human being.

The one who stares back at me.

I know, life throws us curves

But my roots are in your heart

And I refuse to tear myself appart

from your side.

Take my hands, take my arms

Let's do this

One step at a time.

You're my love

My only one.

I don't want to start anew

I only want to be with you.

I thought it was you

1126

I thought it was you

Your record is clean

you were never a cheat

and I walk away without

tainting your name

But I thought it was you

I thought it was you

I thought you were the one,

Who'd come running to my side

Anytime life went wrong

Any time life was right

In times of distress

In times of peace

But now the sorrow of my heart

Tells me to leave it be

But I thought it was you

The one who'd walk down the isle

The one that I'd cherish forever

I thought it was you

But I saw you with him

And I knew.

I just knew that my dreams

Were not quite as they seemed.

I knew that you wanted

To be next to him.

You had to say nothing

Your face said it all

You were smiling so big

When you gave him your arm

Nothing had to happen

I'd seen it before

But this time I knew

It was best if I'd go.

I thought it was you

I will find a woman

Who'll be by my side

I will find that angel

to look in my eye and say:

I knew it was you

From the moment I saw you.

I knew it was you

You'll have no more sorrow.

Our problems, we'll solve,

For better of worse,

I bow to you now,

No more kisses goodbye.

I knew it was you.
