Painful relationships

He bites his lips

because there is still some poison in them

the tongue bathes his teeth with rust

he has the pain in the fingers of the failed attempt

in writing and deleting a word lost in memory

he stays awake at dawn with the doubt of memories

and even when people ask,

he only chokes on his words and flees at the speed of his marked routes

He has a wound in the heart of which he is silent

a part of his story drowned in sleepless nights

and fulfilled promises that were born of the broken ones.

There is something in which he is lost and broken,

something that is never talked about.
