Margarita Cortés Poems

If by any chance you remember me:
my embrace,
my smile,
The love we made,
...

Hoping, just hoping for a moment.

Don't you feel it, did you hear it?
...

Why do we pretend neither of us hurts?

All this hopelessness,
...

Be with me in day

Be with me tonight
...

As if life depended on it
I'm swaying back and forth
Heart pounding out my breast
Just no time to rest
...

Know it in my smile

See it in my eyes
...

In the darkness I searched,

only to be greeted by my shadow!
...

Lying awake in this bed alone,
The more I try, the harder it gets.
I just can't sleep!
...

Simple it may be
Honestly for me
Being here
Is the only place
...

A small hand looking for safety
A small child looking for a hug
A little girl looking to her father
Just wanting to be loved
...
