Hiding Poem by Jorge Arturo Valles Anguiano

When your look isn't on me,
when you're​ not with me...
I hide my pain from you,
the pain of loving you,
a high price I pay each day,
a price that makes me suffer,
that makes my feelings go crazy,
feeling like if my feelings were mixed-up,
I hide a huge pain...,
just to protect your smile,
and see that your smile hides no pain,
and my tears start flowing while I think about you...,
because I know that you have suffered...,
because you make me feel...
jealous of others...

But after all,
you're the reason of this suffering,
and this is why I decide to pay this...,
I'd prefer feel the pain...,
the pain of my heart braking into pieces,
than not having you at my side
while you make my heart accelerate.

And this is why I hide myself...,
for an impossible love
that is only destroying me on the inside,
because everyday you will see me smile,
because I'm with you.
