Dos poemas

they did not tell me it would hurt like this
no one warned me
about the heartbreak we experience with friends
where are the albums, i though
there were no songs sung for it
i could not find the ballads
or read the books dedicated to writing the grief
we fall into when friends leave
it is the type of heartache that
does not hit you like a tsunami
it is a slow cancer
the kind that does not show up for months
has no visible signs
is an ache here
a headache there
but manageable
cancer or tsunami
it all ends the same
a friend or a lover
a loss is a loss is a loss

(Rupi Kaur * The underrated heartache)


Como los perros
atados en la puerta del súper
a cada rato, el corazón
un vuelco y enseguida
la desilusión, la posibilidad
de que nunca venga
el que esperan
y de ahora en más
esto sea todo.

(Lara Segade * Sin título)
