Mail In My Mouth

She walked into my life
Like a phantom of my own dreams

From grief to grief
She sharpened her soul
Like the butcher’s knife
Slitting through my ribs

She hugged me
Like a prisoner waiting his final trial

She wrote all her fears in a letter
And dropped it secretly inside my mouth

The life in exile is a death sentence
There is no comfort in parting

I douse my anger with tears
And waste myself in a forgotten song

I woke up in the morning
With a hammer in my hand
I nailed all her memories on my wall

I wait for her now
Like a seed waiting for sun under the soil
I wonder when I come out of the earth
Will I be a forest or a fruit?
