Night Owl by María Celeste Ramos Medina

I tell the night my secrets,

My eyes are wide awake

And heart barely beating.

 

I tell the night my secrets,

My hands won’t stop shaking

As I tell my sins to the stars.

I don’t think they’ll be forgiven,

But letting them go eased the ache in part.

 

I tell the night my secrets

And ask if I am real

Or whether I am a ghost

That hasn’t moved on.

I doubt I even am existing.

 

I tell the night my secrets,

But I doubt you’ll understand.

I gave my heart to the Moon

And you gave yours to the Sun.
