I can't help it

I can't help it

A Poem by Leandro Mendez

Break my heart.
Do me the favor.
It's the only way
my heart will understand
that it has to let you go.

Too many errors
I've committed,
I have no problem
admitting them.
I'd love for you to know
every color I've been...

... and for you to
let me get to know you the same way.

I, perfectly, understand
that it's too late
and that my chance
flew away like ashes.

But my heart doesn't
understand.

And it always
says the same thing to me:

"The sky is azure,
the water is wet,
and I love her".


------------------------------------------------------------

Rompeme el corazon.
Haceme el favor.
Es de la unica manera
que mi corazon entendera
que te tiene que soltar.

Demasiados errores cometi,
no tengo problema en
podertelo admitir.
Me encantaria que conozcas
todos los colores que fui...

... y que vos me dejes
conocerte, asi, tambien.

Entiendo, perfectamente, que
es tarde y que mi chance
volo como cenizas de papel.

Pero mi corazon
no entiende.

Y siempre me repite
el mismo dicho:

"El cielo es azul,
el agua moja,
y yo la amo a ella".

This is a piece originally written in Spanish, that is why I posted it in the bottom, for any Spanish readers out there. It's the first time I share a Spanish piece, I haven't finished the journal yet.. but I wanted to see if anybody likes my kind of "new" stuff. Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading.

I understand quite well. the feeling of.losing something so close. Is this piece from your own experience, did it help get over the feeling?

Oh don't be sorry...I enjoyed :)
Very well done and truly heartfelt. There's nothing like the feeling of regret when it comes to a lost love. You don't know what you got till it's gone for sure. Both versions are fine writes and reads. Great job. :)
