SE NOS ROMPIÓ EL AMOR
Se nos rompió el amor,
ay, de tanto usarlo.
De tanto abrazo loco,
sin medida.
De darnos por completo
se nos quedó en las manos
Se nos rompió el amor,
aquel tan grandioso.
Jamás pudo existir,
tanta belleza.
Las cosas tan hermosas
jamás duró una flor
Me alimenté de tí,
por mucho tiempo,
nos devoramos vivos,
como fieras.
Jamás pensamos nunca,
en el invierno,
pero el invierno llega,
aunque no quieras.
Y una mañana gris,
al despertarnos,
sentimos un crujido
frío y seco,
cerramos nuestros ojos y pensamos
se nos rompió el amor
de tanto usarlo.
