Sin vuelta atras

Cuando despertó, descubrió que había ganado el avión presidencial. El descubrimiento no fue de golpe como podría esperarse, sino lento y paulatino. Igual que el retorno a la consciencia. Como cada mañana se levantó más dormido que despierto. Prendió la cafetera y el televisor antes de meterse a bañar. El sonido de la regadera ahogó el parloteó familiar del noticiero, pero no es como si le prestara atención. Solo quería llenar con algo, lo que fuera, el silencio matutino que perduraba, igual que la cama fría, desde el divorcio. Es por eso que le había comprado el boleto a Rosita. No porque creyera, o quisiera, la posibilidad de ganarse el avión. Dios me libre, pensó en ese momento. No, lo compró con la esperanza de llevarla a la cama. Dígase, lo compró por caliente y pendejo. Cuando Rosita llegó a ofrecerle el boleto lo hizo con ojos llorosos, el escote ligeramente abierto y descansó la mano sobre su antebrazo. La pobre lo había adquirido urgida por su madre y ahora no tenían ni para

What If?

I have a question what if: A man in a box came? An owl flew through the window? Your name was the one drawn? You heard the people sing? A note book fell from the sky? The fire nation attacked? A Russian's scarf tried to kill you? Hollows attacked your family? You get decommissioned? You had a paper with lipstick on it? You got a new groove? There was a chemical X? Would you go on to be, The hero of the story?

8. Time to Keep

“The Chronicles of Enishi” Mellie looked down disdainfully at the old binder in her lap. The front flap was a Bleach calendar, crafted by her hand in an older version of Microsoft Publisher when she was 12. She couldn’t believe how much of an anime spazz she used to be. But that had nothing on the contents inside. “Buuuuurn it,” whispered the inner critic in Mellie’s ear. “Buuuuurn it.” She shooed Shimizu away as she took a steadying breath. It wasn’t that bad. Well, it wasn’t good but it wasn’t that bad. “You’re lying to yourself,” the inner critic mutter

You've Changed My Point of View - Song Lyrics

Was looking at a picture, but the image was unclear It wasn't what I'd figured, wasn't quite what it appeared I thought I understood, thought I knew just what was right But you turned it upside down, and that was when I realized All these shapes All these colorfully bright hues They served a purpose - perfectly, succinctly too And with my second chance I took a second glance I'd seen it all before but now you've changed my point of view wo-oh.. oh.. ohhhh.... oh oh oh Now you've changed my point of view So lost in chaos and the blinding darkened night Found light and order as soon as you came to my side A different way of looking at the

Things left unsaid!

It's 3am, cold outside. I woke up from my sleep, saw you in my dreams again... why am i secretly falling apart? lying on my bed i thought. I wish i was courageous enough to tell you that i want you to hold me close, tell me how much you care. I miss your random texts telling me what do you want to do to me, that how you love my lumps i hate the most. I miss the way you used to call me beautiful, that i miss your calm and heavy breaths which melt my ears making me feel all those things you have on your mind... how much i want to kiss your collar bones... want to hear your voice which sounds like a lullaby, whispering my name on purpose because
