Por Que

the language i read

in your eyes

when you look at me

is a foreign language

i don’t speak

in school

i learned a little spanish

but

i don’t really remember

blanco

is white, right?

cuando

that’s how much or how

many, right?

por que

why?

i don’t know

did we ever speak

the same language

or

have we always been

lovers

who traveled from

foreign lands

true intentions

lost in translation

worthless currency

now i shield my eyes

to prevent

you from seeing

that i already know

we’ve always been speaking

two different languages

por que?

porque

Peace & Love,
