Poems from Mateos
Maybe it's the way
You hate me
That pulled my heart
Closer to you.
I am a flower
Wanting to be a tree.
It's too far
For me to reach...
You pick the pieces
out of my heart
And throw them away
without a second thought
I drink of romance
Carrying me today
for your smile...
Why even bother,
why even try
to think about someone
who only lies.
Their arms are not
worthy
but I push it
aside
because I don't ...
Dear mother,
You wait for me in the places I can't see.
There, you patiently scowl from the actions I do.
They insult the meaning of you...
She ceases to exist
Between a time and place
Where the face of earth
Lies tangled among wrists
Of those who don't stay still.
