"Abuela"(Grandmother)

Never saw you. Never touched you. But there's nobody on earth that can erase my love for you. Sometimes I imagine you dancing con the sabor en tus caderas, the smooth steps while you dance at the rhythm of the bachata and the sweet voice to calm your kids when they cry. Abuela. Did you meet the meaning of true happiness? When the only person you had was you. Tell me. Tell me if the hands you wanted to hold were the ones beating the crap out of you and the lips you once kissed were insulting you with a strong smell of vulgarity and alcohol.

Abuela. How did you cry? Did you want to pull your hair out? Did you smile in front of your kids, so they could never find out the way you felt? Abuela. En realidad encontrastes el amor? Did you really find love? But how could you have met love when the one you thought was your hero it's the one who was killing you?

Abuela. Did you want to scape? I bet you did but you couldn't left your kids behind. So you just stood there, quiet, watching yourself disappear. How did you pray abuela? How did you ask God to save you from the hell on earth you were living in. Abuela. Did you dream about me? Abuela. Are you resting in peace?
