Half


Half

That the force of fear I have
don't stop me from seeing what I long for
that the death of everything I believe
don't cover my ears and mouth
for half of me is what I scream
the other half is silence

That the music I hear in the distance
be beautiful yet sadness
May the woman I love be forever loved
even distant
because half of me is broken
the other half is homesick.

Do you want the words I speak
not heard as a prayer or repeated with fervor
just respected as the only thing
that remains for a man flooded with feelings
for half of me is what I hear
the other half is what I call

That my desire to go away
become the calm and peace I deserve
that the tension that erodes me inside
be a rewarded day
because half of me is what I think
the other half a volcano

May the fear of loneliness fade away
and living with myself becomes at least bearable
may the mirror reflect my face in a sweet smile
that I remember giving in childhood
for half of me is the memory of what I was
the other half don't know

That it takes no more than a simple joy
to make me quiet the spirit
and may your silence speak to me more and more
for half of me is shelter
the other half is tiredness

May art point me to an answer
even if she doesn't know herself
and no one tries to complicate it
because it takes simplicity to make it flourish
because half of me is an audience
The other half is song.

May my madness be forgiven
because half of me is love

and the other half too
