El Silencio Le Hablo

Esos ojitos tristes
contaban un cuento
y el que buscaba entenderlos
se perdía en el intento.
 
Fingía a todos al sonreír
pero por dentro lo que quería
era huir.

Una vez tan tierna, 
tan llena de dulzura, 
su carita resplandeciente
se volvió toda amargura.

Que secreto tan grande
guardaba en su pecho que
por las noches desconcertada 
perdía su sueño. 

Un llanto tan grande que nadie
escuchó hasta que un día el destino
con su propia vida le cobró.

I had to find a translation of this, but what I read in the english translation was amazing. This flows so beautiful. It has quite a sad tone but very powerful all the same. Always, laura

the closest translation I could find for you to read in english is Whispers Unheard not exact but very close Thank you for trying to read it even if you didn't understand it. I am Bilingual so occasionally I write in my native tongue hugs Maddie
