September por Vanessa Pacheco Padilla

Distorted images
Echoing the mirror of my inner self.
Blurred memories
Weeping in my soul
Looking forward to be faded away.

Undefeatable by death:
Tired of waiting for it,
Terrified by it.

Silent words never spoken again,
Colorless shapes
Pretending to be someone else.

Lost in a world of distress:
There’s nowhere to find you there,
It’s simply your ghost
Who passes by without a halt.

Never aware of this feeling before
Desperately trying to discard it from my soul
Choosing to be here:
A nightmare,
It will always last.

Sometimes I’m able to hear you
Is it that you finally evolved?
It pierces my heart and my soul.
Don’t get me wrong
It’s just painful to comprehend
Is that a smile?
This is one too.

Now it all hits me back
Not living in the past
But being hunted by it
Is it time to let go?

Die with me now
In the same way
I died with you then.
