mi amor propio no es irrespetuoso

No alimentarƩ tu ego

para probar mi amor

porque su apetito es demasiado grande

requiere demasiado

y me tragarĆ­a entero

y aun estar insatisfecho

 

mi amor propio no es irrespetuoso

mi amor propio no es egoista

es autoconservaciĆ³n

es una amabilidad

a un alma abandonada

una negativa a ser una soluciĆ³n rĆ”pida

a tu hambre interminable
