you struck me like a star in the night sky 

but burned me like a nick on my rear thigh. 

Your lies cut me into many pieces of broken glass

YOUR LETTER

 

YOUR LETTER

 

Just your words on paper, nothing much,

Worth the world then or in my possession

if I was stranded far away on the moon

would your words be my lifeline and save me?

Or prolong my agony, make my stay there my Hell?

A curse or a blessing in my hands now.
