Looking Up. (July 15,1999 / Barinas)
Stony-Cracked Aura
I could only see as deep as the skin, no one allowed to be let in,
Lofty expectations of a thing, one that could make my heart lean.
A charmy gift that came to stay, patiently sitting on my bed to lay,
Opening the door of the room just to say, that everything seems gray.
Frozen in stone with cold-blooded veins, no sign of shine nor pain,
Suddenly the crack appeared and the line, said you were, only mine.
My chilly cold-weathered paradise, turned to a hot summer home,
It was more than love, a sacrifice; it was you, why don't you shine?
You lighted my heart since my congenital existence,
With no air to breath nor any resistance.
I find myself in the venue about to be judged,
Judge I'm not guilty but that's the way I find myself lodged.
There's no solicitor, to protect like a mom,
No visitor, to see when I'm gone.
It's time to disappear, I'm sorry for J and Sarah,
Now the pain is so severe, for my stony-cracked aura.

Are you happy?
Keep your luck.
Are you lost?
Keep looking up.

Coolest line: Frozen in stone with cold-blooded veins, no sign of shine nor pain,
Suddenly the crack appeared and the line, said you were, only mine.
