Querida, an interlude for you.

Dolores:

1. Baffling, it really is baffling how easy it was for her

to dream

when all her life she was left bleeding, 

on the floor by the harsh blows that life gave her 

Father:

2. You are anger and resentment personified. But I love you even when I hate you

Darien:

3. As the scalding water fell over me, unwanted memories resurfaced.

I tried my best to push them away and yet, my damnable mind would not have

Pain, shot up my spine as I fell on my knees; wearing nothing but my arms 

yet even that seemed more bearable than the growing ache in my chest.

I let it consume me, the tears and sadness. They appear to be the only things that won't abandon me. 

Qui est-tu? 

4. I am a one of those few, beautiful contradictions. Learning to live with all parts of myself

in harmony.  

The hurting: 

5. A broke heart, sweets...that heals

but a broken soul?  that'll kill you

Femmes:

6. I love my women. Amo mis mujeres. J'aime mes femmes.

7. I wish-in many occasions- that you had met me at a much simpler time in my life. Although when life was easier, 

I was a little brat so I probably would have scared you away. So maybe not.. I am thinking I should have

started this diffently

but here it goes. I am not simple, mediocre, naive, nor narrow-minded 

And I will not apologize for that but I do apologize for being a very difficult woman to love. 

What I do promise, is I will love you wholly and purely with not mal-intended actions or thoughts.

I will be the woman you call home and the hand that will guide even if I am lost myself 

I am so glad I met you in this lifetime.
