Sorry The Mailbox Is Full

Sorry  

The mailbox  

Is full

Crammed tight  

With nights  

I couldn’t  

Write

Notes  

I never sent

Truth  

Bent

Ink  

Spent

Heart  

Rent

Cold steel  

Mouth  

Won’t close

It froze  

On rows  

Of ghosts  

I chose  

To keep  

Instead  

Of speak

Paper  

Shivers

Quivers

Delivers  

Every  

Sliver  

Of a life  

I tried  

To outlive

Sorry  

The mailbox  

Is full  

My pull  

To stall  

Made all  

My calls  

Fall  

Back  

To me

Maybe  

I’ll clear it

Fear it

Tear it

Or build  

A new  

Small  

Bright  

Place  

For lines  

I finally  

Dare  

To trace
