Letter in a bottle

if i turned spit to tears could it make up for some of the years?
Not all mind you, for i wouldnt hope for a miracle to that extent,
But maybe, just maybe, your iron-like      can be bent,
Then we will say all of the things the past truly meant.

if i unfurled heavens into this hell of a world,
Would you realize the screams of pain were for you,
they would tell of the purification that i pursue,
change will cost it all, i can tell from my point of view.

All these things and more, just to establish a rapport.
I'm swallowing my fresh lumps rising in my throat,
trying to believe the things i have momentarily wrote,
letting these things go, i set this letter in a bottle afloat.
