LOVE Poem: Solitude, by Maria Freire

I gaze at you from afar, and my sight cannot reach you,
I speak to you in whispers, and my voice fades
like an echo in the vast silence.
I hold you tightly, and your sadness becomes mine,
I grasp your hand in the void,
trying to find you among the shadows.

I look at you from a distance, and little by little you fade away,
I shout your name, but you can no longer hear me,
I embrace you from afar, and my arms touch you only in dreams.
I admire you in silence,
without ceasing to name you in my thoughts.

I have called you Solitude,
I have looked deeply into your eyes,
and you have planted in my face
two extinguished stars
