I Want to Write You a Letter

I never wanted to write you a letter
because I was scared of what you might say.
Don't you think it's time to put the knives away?
How many times I heard you cursing art,
shredding a written page.
Have you thought about my browning roots,
sagging streams
where papers sucked into a vat
tucked away for many days
hide from ember eyes
that scar forever my canvas page.
I want to write you a letter,
but I know what you will say.
