When the faith is gone

[Maritxu]

Sometimes I look at you and see
the kid that still inside you lives
It's in your smile, or even in your eyes

Now that your lips,
nor your eyes smile,
I see you getting older,
when your body is still so young

I wonder what is it,
that keeps your from seeing
what you're worth,
what used to something
nobody could take away from you

You used to never give up,
and brought me up when I was down,
Now you only talk about death,
and there is no more hope in your words..

Now that I am the one to be there for you
I feel small and I am scared that you may go
I don't know if I'm helping you...
or even if I can..

If there is no reason for you to go on..
then is there something I am doing good in this world?

 

[memento_mori]

there's plenty you're doing good in this world, you humanitarian. you can't do more than the best you can, some people are just past your reach.

i get afraid sometimes tho, if i'll become empty in my eyes and mouth like the person you describe.

[Maritxu]

Way too real not to be strong....
I felt I had to let it out you know? thanks for reading it

Really beautiful, even more when you know the true story.
I'll never be able to state enough what a wonderful human being you are Maria. And how lucky I am

 

[Charmer]

Very beautiful, Maria.

...and you said you couldn't write!

 

[Maritxu]

Not like you guys you are all wonderful

 

[Eridanus]

Fabulous, Maritxu. And you've been keeping this writing talent from us? Shame on you. I, (and I'm sure everyone else) look forward to reading more from you.
