WITH YOUR SHIELDS UP... //// POEM

WITH YOUR SHIELDS UP...

Let's go back to that place where everything was fine
Where your tears never I get to know
Where only smiles adorned your face
Making you laugh, always me making myself funny

Those years where we were young and everything was less complicated
Where even your heart had not mistreated
Not even that idiot your heart had trampled
And he turned you into this person, who's got tired of love

See the pain in your face, hidden behind that farce smile
That tries to tell me that everything is fine
When the earthquake and I leave everything in rubble
But you pretend to be well not to inject your pain into others

I admire that strength that first of all you have
You're not like the one I knew long before
That naive little girl that so much love gets to give
Now you are a woman who seems that nothing can harm you

To go back to the past I can forget
You are destined to achieve something very big
Going back to the past would be an act of cowards
Seeing you beat life, it's more than enough to stay
