Acid Tongue
There is acid in my mouth
On my tongue
In my lungs
In my throat
There is acid
In the words
I hiss
past
Drawn lips and
Bared teeth
There is acid
in your tears
as they burn
your cheeks
There is acid
In the way I speak
In the way you cry,
In the way I lie
And say
The wrong things.
There is acid
Where I wound you
With phrases
And praise
Of your flaws
There is acid
In the pain that
Pools around you
Where I left you
To bleed

I am crazy, according to society, but that's not uncommon anymore. I love music, I play piano, guitar (electric, acoustic, and bass), drums, and violin. I can and write for music for all of my instruments. I own two dogs, a very smug cat, and two ferrets (which I refer to as kids).
