Maybe I can take it out

(google translate version of http://nictalope.com/tal-vez-pueda-sacarlo)

 

Before going crazy
Tell me how to help you
Maybe I can take it out

It seems that the days consist of a couple of hours of a yellow light
and violet and meandering nights
where I go by
useless
Boatman without paddles who is not allowed even to understand
or interfere with your mourn
that the long night undecided should
also by command
cover

But it's been so many nights and I am running out of ideas

Please, tell me how
You seem just to list your sorrows without definitely exploit
It is useless to speak to you
so I just look at you and turn around you
with the hope that when crying pauses
and you raise your head
not to stop shaking and suffering but as part of the ritual sob
in that pause you imagine that I am with you
and
more than just being there inept
can take you out that stygian torment that seems to plot everything

Perhaps you only understand poetry
so this naive attempt
before going crazy

but how to help
if you don't know by yourself
No
First you will have to find it within you
it must come before you look for it or you think on doing it
then I could help or wouldn't be needed

is that
or to take the knife and cut your chest apart
so maybe I can take it out by myself
