Sorry
Five letters indeed.
But I think when they came out from your mouth,
They felt really foreign,
They felt somewhat insane,
They felt very distant,
They felt like a strange house,
From which I always kept distance.
Five letters indeed.
The word flowing all over my mind,
Bumping to our wall like a never ending Ping-Pong.
I think it’s going to break,
I think I might felt the shake,
I think it wasn’t strong enough for the long stay.
Five letters indeed.
Maybe the ring of the words is the door I never wanted to open,
Now their presence is quite a bother.
They are like the new neighbor which I can never harbor,
I want them gone, but for that I think I have to move along.
Five letters indeed.
From which I can’t be freed,
And I don’t want to read,
If it’s you in the lead,
Five letters indeed.
