Manila

Disappointment comes

priority mail these days

marked by the scent of a stamp

a smell so familiar but mixed

with the taste of your lips

A hand written letter

so static yet louder

than any cross words we've shouted

These formalities have to stop

cause I've had it

Pen and Ink are so permanent

lasting and longer

leaving scars like a blade

I guess we'll see which one is stranger

Outlined in black and white

with the verdict delivered

I'm sure I'll never get this right

each sentence strikes deeper

than six feet I have dug for or was it that I buried

You say the distance doesn't matter

Your straged sympathy shows through this script

With your las words sealed Manila

and sent with malicious intent

Such and obvious gesture to things

in my life that would never fit

Abandonment was never the issue now

Was It?

Pen and Ink are so permanent

lasting and longer

leaving scars like a blade

I guess we'll see which one is stranger

Outlined in black and white

You said you didn't want this

but now you're gonna miss this

I really need this

and now I'm gonna get it right.
