Adà

The oceans speak more honestly

to those willing to drown,

I talked to the stars about you

most of them held my wishes for you.

I know your heart has no idea

of how to beat without aching.

Your body, a museum

for the art of letting go.

Give the flowers hope,

that are not blooming even in the springs.

They don’t know the stories behind your scars,

but you do and that’s enough.
