Whispers of the Heart

"A Love Unspoken, Yet Felt in Every Breatth"

Listen, honey...

Since the day you showed me the two red stripes,

my eyes have been following you...

I've been holding my mouth and vomiting for months...

My favorite food,

Oh, it stinks,

While eating a bag of raw mango,

My teeth that were waiting for it got dizzy...

My favorite clothes were thrown aside,

When I chose light clothes for my stomach,

My heart was broken..

When my legs swelled like a pillow,

At 30 o'clock in the night,

When I was suffering from a headache,

What else could I do except rub my head?

When I walked like a duck,

When I was walking for minutes,

I let out a long sigh,

I didn't even know....

It must have been Wednesday.

You were screaming, holding your stomach..

Where does it hurt, honey? . .

Here and there

You sent your hands all over your stomach...

Your Latino

I heard

your voice

from afar

And that's it, you didn't go any further, Senna..

While looking at the leddu

I saw

your name on the board

and

my breath stopped..

Before the baby

I ran just to see you..

My braided hair was messy

And my lips were cracked in places...

Tears were flowing down the cheeks...

But how did my mother

smile so beautifully when she saw me...

I still think about it if I don't tell you...
