Angelica Duardo Poems

I keep telling myself
"Things are going to change"
But it still feels like a lie
It all may stay the same
...

There's a strange peace in me when I think of you
It's like I have accepted the fact that you're no longer here, but still you are
You bring joy to my eyes and tears to my heart
Your presence is oddly stronger now that you not around
...

I threw myself into this world
With marble walls and sand concrete floors
I took one step and lost my way
Between the arms of this perfect maze
...

I’m afraid to open things
To break the shell their kept within
I’m afraid they’ll rot with time
And disappear before my eyes
...

They don’t see as much as we do
With eyes open, with light shining
They don’t know where to go or who to be when the sun’s gone
They are forever lost in the haunted black
...

This is the first time
And I’m scared to try
What if I do, think or say
Something I will always regret?
...

Ese hombre no es culpable
Y aqui lo tienen en cadenzas,
Condenado a morir
Clavado a una cruz
...

Talk to me
Tell me that it’s fine

I hear myself having this conversation
...
