Eu grito com o silêncio,
ele me ignora.

Deitamos juntos no sofá,
estou cansada.

Ele se coloca sobre mim
como um cobertor.

- na primavera me sufoca,
no inverno esconde o meu desamparo.

Isso é o mais perto do amor
que tenho estado.



I yell at silence,
it ignores me.

We lay together on the sofa,
I'm exhausted,

it covers me like a blanket

- in the spring it's suffocating,
in the winter it hides my hopelessness.

It's the closest of love I've been to these days.

  1. You have my empathy :S But the darkest feelings sometimes give birth to the most wonderful words: "I yell at silence. It ignores me."

  2. This makes me sad for the poem's character. She deservse--we all deserve-- closer to love than that.

  6. Silence is a lonely lover, indeed...keep yelling at it to go away and free up your heart for real love...:)
