The Beauty of Things
Have you never heard that the beauty of things
loves to hide
and what I have inside is strong
far from mediocrity 
I risked losing everything
so as not to suffer it
have you never heard that the beauty of things
loves to surprise us
and what is strong is I have inside
far from mediocrity 
I have blindfolded my eyes for some time
so as not to see it
and I would have liked to find myself among your most beautiful words
to reap a shiver
/>from your looks
and I would have liked to find myself among your
distracted answers
we wandered for a long time in those
precious and twisted conversations
without concluding
but what I have inside is strong
far from mediocrity 
I chased the deafening noise
so as not to hear it
and I would have liked to find myself among your most beautiful words
collect a shiver
from your looks
and I would have liked to find myself among your
distracted answers
have you never heard that the beauty of things
loves to hide
