Words
Sticks and stone will laugh at you
But words
But words
Will always hurt you
Cut you
Beat you
Erase you
Can you hear the words indulged in panic?
Organic, Magnetic, Gigantic, Gigantic
Word cascading, Cold and stile.
Eating my flesh with a laugh of pride
Words that once gratified my very insides
Seem to climb out my mouth so dirty and dry
My Throat throbbing with glass
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to harass
I’m sorry I’m not the brightest in the class
It’s not my fault I couldn’t surpass
Until I can spit up these words
I cannot determine these words
What are these words?
My Tongues, my Teeth
Held high in these words
These words prayed for you.
When will these words make break through?
These words have burned passion into my skin
Playing the violin within
Killing the air in the wind
Twist my eyes into nothing
Crumble my teeth into dust
Turn my tongue into ash
These word this rash killing my innocents.
The taste of spoiled agony
These Words have never fought for me;
I guess these words weren’t meant for me
This isn’t what its spouse to be.
These words have robed my very entity.
But I have to say these words meant the world to me
God please let these words rain down on me
These words are over due
Give me time to review so my soul won’t mildew.
Under the shining light of this broken news
These words, this parasite, climbing through my tissue
I wish to the heavens these words could be true.
I LOVE YOU
