Captive Of The Past Poem by Maria Gallego- Jiménez

It's hard to accept that you're gradually fading.

& It's hard to accept that you can no longer sing.

I love you, but it's always hard to express.

I care about you, but there's this awkwardness.

I don't know what to do with this.

I am still a captive of the past.

I hope that soon I'll be totally free

To make up for what's lacking in me

And that I can speak with you without hesitation

And that I can sing in your stead with you in your bed.
