Sandra Santana Rivera Poems

Everyone told you are not supposed to talk to strangers
but you can stop telling yourself how exciting it is to be in danger.
You try to pull away and struggle with your own nature.
...

Even if the storm is raging,
you can fight it without breaking.

This is not a permanent condition,
...

Why do beautiful things end only to leave you with things that have no use?

After everything is said and done, what am I supposed to do with so much love.
...

These days haven't been good...

The sunshine pours through my window but my living room seems dark
A friend smiles at work and says hello and my face just stays blank
...

What do I say after I say 'Hello! '?
Don't you know?
Your smile
warms my heart
...

I am stuck in traffic
I can't move foward
I can't move backwards
I am just not moving
...

Who can I blame for loving you?
I can blame your smile.
I can blame your eyes.
I can blame your voice.
...

Fake a smile
Fake a hello
Fake a handshake
Fake a conversation
...

I'm sorry did you say anything?
Are you talking to me?
What did you say?
Pardon, but could you repeat?
...

If I had a dime...
for each time
I had to say...
I'm sorry
...
