Aprieto (English) Poem by Kevin Mireles

She has left a mark on my psyche.
Her eyes hold a steady gaze.
Her words are sharp and incisive,
but deep within her soul,
she hides a tremor of pain.

A palpable, private pain
shrouded in a layer of indifference
that prevents her
from surrendering
to any form of my affection.

Yet, her cold words inspire me
to explore the fragile dance
between words and emotions.
To better understand
my own silent pain.

She is a reason to strive
for genuine connection in life,
to confront my own vulnerabilities
and seek knowledge,
understanding, and wisdom.
