Small poem in Spanish & English

My rooting body or my fragile soul?

---

The biggest fear of being loved, that your body will be cherished and not your soul. 

My disgusting perfect body, soft flesh, fragile bones, and a fugacious life. 

Will you love my insides? Will you eat my rooting flesh when I’m happy at last? Only then, you will see the flesh that you most loved with hatred. 

My soul screams and begs, it kneels and sobs. 

Love me! 

Because my soul is who I am, it will last in the memories, in art,  in the whispers of the wind. I rip my heart out and surrender it to you. 
Don’t love my flesh, love my essence, my soul, my whole me. 

¿Mi putrefacto cuerpo o mi frágil alma? 

---

El gran temor de ser amada, que amen tu cuerpo y no tu alma. 

Mi repugnante perfecto cuerpo, carne blanda, huesos frágiles, y una vida fugaz. 

¿Me amarás hasta mis entrañas? ¿Comerás de mi putrefacta carne cuando al fin sea feliz? Solo entonces, verás con repulsión la carne que tanto amaste.

Mi alma grita y suplica, se arrodilla y solloza. 

¡Ámame!

Pues mi alma es quien soy, perdurará en los recuerdos, en el arte, en los susurros del viento.

Me arranco mi corazón y te lo entrego. No ames mi carne, ama mi esencia, mi alma, mi todo yo.

So this is a small poem that I wrote, the original one is in Spanish, so I personally think it expreses better what I wanted, and that it sounds better, but I wanted to try to see how it would be in English, and I guess is not that bad.

I usually keep my poems for me, because I’m not very good at it, I sometimes write them for myself and express how I feel, but I never share them. But this time I was kinda proud of what it tourn out to be, idk, is not the best poem ever, but it’s my fav poem that I wrote so far.
