seduced us, a poem by Carmen Ruiz Fleta
are seduced by pride. We
tormented beings who are seduced by pride
of distance and time biting words;
filled us too soon empty bodies, empty
us on par with the years.
Women want to cuddle
time at our own pace and feed in exact proportion
dreams and reasons. Women
die suffocated by the fingers of
words never said,
fear or pride. Women
peeps we desire in the eyes
and we constantly commit suicide.
kill us alone or we kill
blows. We
love hard it hurts, and if it hurts
still love.
We are guardians of their own havens and secret tears
mascara run us and make us
unsightly men.
why women often prefer to look beautiful
and rot from within. CARMEN RUIZ
FLET
