Hold My Heart.

 Hold My Heart.

Ulises Vargas

December 6, 2024. 

To Sophia. 

Hold my heart, I can’t feel it. 

If I don’t believe it, can you reel it?

If I don’t say I love you, will you still feel it?

Hold my heart, I need you to stay.

And say something to me. 

I need to hear it back, and again. 

I haven’t heard such alien words, my friend. 

Will you be there to the end?

Confirm it again and again, I need to hear it. 

I love you, my love, and don’t you forget it. 

I can’t help myself, I’m sorry. 

I need your help for myself, I’m so sorry.

Am I a pity to you?

Do I seem a fool, a baby to you?

Hold my heart, I can’t feel it. 

Tell me you love me, I need to hear it.

One hundred selves.

One hundred selves.  Ulises Vargas  November 29, 2025.  Liars. All of us are liars.  Don’t try to lie and say that you’re not a liar, either.  Let me ask you: does everyone in your life know the same stories as each other? Do they all know the same person, or have you shaped their perspective of you?  Does your mother know the travesties you’ve committed?  Does your lover know your daydreams and fantasies?  Do your colleagues know how you party?  No–no to all of those questions.  Yet, each one of them supposedly knows you.  Each one of them is wrong,  because you lie to each one of them.  They all think that they have you solved; they all think that they know the real you.  To one hundred people,  there are one hundred versions of yourself.  Are any of them real? Is it really the same person who makes those one hundred selves,  or is each self a whole different person?  Regardless, how, then, can o...

Frosted Cocaine.

                                                                    Frosted Cocaine. Ulises Vargas January 2, 2024.  Cocaine, take away the pain.  Feel that icy blizzard like hard rain.  Pick me up from sadness and take me away.  I have nothing to gain but happiness,  Everything to lose and descend into madness.  But today, take the pain away.  Numb my face like a glass mask.  Use your power to cover and glaze the past.  Give me life, for every dollar I spend.  Give me life, for every wound you mend.  Save me from insanity,  And bring me to serenity.  Finding peace, piece by piece.

Therapy Puppy.

Therapy Puppy. Ulises Vargas  October 3, 2025.  Home base is only a place  To wake up in the morning  Or to run back to when you feel lonely;  A security of comfort,  Deep in a hugging bed  The outside world  Is arduous and cruel  So what more could you need Than home’s hugging bed; My cuddling hand?  Every step out that door  Wears heavy on your feet,  So come and stay home: There’s no stones to throw here  But what does it matter  If every day  You choose to leave me  And keep others company? Am I not enough?  Do you really need them?  What do you do out there,  Where I can’t see?  Tell me you hate it  Because I couldn’t stand the opposite  And if you mean it  Then stay here with me  I’m all the company  You could ever need  Though, I’d never tell you  How it hurts to see you go  Or how it hurts  Whenever you come home  When you’re tired...
