Eve's curse, par Laura Alaniz

Eve's curse

Desperate for his attention

Knowing it will drive him away

Jealous of a game - how lame

Choking self-esteem where I lay

Desperate for his affection

Knowing he will not stray

Missing him more than he does me

Pride controlling what I say

(2014)

This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words

I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide

I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures

Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste

Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers

Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone

I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do

Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca

I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread

Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work

Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt

No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo

Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best

How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me

Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
