YESTERDAY I SAW HER

YESTERDAY I SAW HER

Yesterday I saw her sad and suffered,

and I also saw in his eyes

a sea full of tears and pain.

You are not the same as today

nor from yesterday...

I saw her yesterday... and her false steps

they no longer step on the rope

that a short past tense we both tempered.

Yesterday I saw her... on her dry face,

and his dead desires.

They are his sad eyes, dull, like a comet

that returns in lustrums of lilies

complain about time...

I saw her in the distance, almost mute

as if something inside, deep down,

opened deep drops in his soul.

I saw her in a dark past,

a sad past...

Very sad... I saw her yesterday.
