Voice of Eloisa, Abelardo’s lover

I don’t want reality

I want magic

I want to breathe again.

Your touch on the wall overwhelms me

It feels like an embrace and I burn with the desire to talk to you, my love

A raised eyebrow is to say yes

A moving finger is a passionate kiss

A fall to one side is My heart breaks when you leave this room

A crooked lip is a letter

A rubbing of the pillowcase is It’s nice in here

Three breaths one after the other is I love your scent

A shrug of the shoulders is It’s your turn to move the knight (laughs)

A turn of the screw is Sleep peacefully, my love

My lips joined in a whisper is Without you

I am nothing but a body, an empty shell.

A shake of the head says everything else,

even what never came to mind when I had the power to say

Say

Say

Say everything I wanted to say

Don’t leave my eyes

Don’t ever leave me

Come back to me, as I see you,

in the shadow of the evening.
