Obnoxious words I carry between my teeth No, no I can't let them escape my grip Jaw locked Mouth dry Shaking Why do you have so much to say Keep it in, keep it in These are secrets These are spells Enchanted Charmed Distraught Look what ache you can cause Don't you dare release them The overthinking ***** In my body Harasses me Emotions linger The guilt The shame In the end, I know if I release these obnoxious words Nothing-- Absolutely NOTHING, would ever be the same.

obnoxious words

Obnoxious words I carry between my teeth No, no I can't let them escape my grip Jaw locked Mouth dry Shaking Why do you have so much to say Keep it in, keep it in These are secrets These are spells Enchanted Charmed Distraught Look what ache you can cause Don't you dare release them The overthinking ***** In my body Harasses me Emotions linger The guilt The shame In the end, I know if I release these obnoxious words Nothing-- Absolutely NOTHING, would ever be the same.

We lived in parallel universes but decided to meet here Strange how I was enough for you and too much at the same time On the night you held me, you let me be the remedy to all your problems I kissed away monsters and let you take control of my body I listened to your words But my speech was slurred and you didn't understand so you took to my skin and bones instead I have flashbacks now wondering if I should label myself as the fool The potions and words made a recipe for a hurricane of emotions But I refuse to let regret be one of them I'm not ashamed of the flaws I let show I'm not ashamed that I told you my dreams I'm not ashamed that I flashed you a peak of my earliest heartbreak and that I played it cool when you told me that I'll never be the one for you I'm not going to play the cute victim I exposed every wound and scar to you I carried more courage than the Lion A weak man like you will never know This will never be something you'll own You were right I do have magic and it lives in me whether you believe in it or not.

To the man that caressed my thigh and told me he believed in my magic

We lived in parallel universes but decided to meet here Strange how I was enough for you and too much at the same time On the night you held me, you let me be the remedy to all your problems I kissed away monsters and let you take control of my body I listened to your words But my speech was slurred and you didn't understand so you took to my skin and bones instead I have flashbacks now wondering if I should label myself as the fool The potions and words made a recipe for a hurricane of emotions But I refuse to let regret be one of them I'm not ashamed of the flaws I let show I'm not ashamed that I told you my dreams I'm not ashamed that I flashed you a peak of my earliest heartbreak and that I played it cool when you told me that I'll never be the one for you I'm not going to play the cute victim I exposed every wound and scar to you I carried more courage than the Lion A weak man like you will never know This will never be something you'll own You were right I do have magic and it lives in me whether you believe in it or not.

I thought losing you was a hurricane ripping through my heart damaging the toughest tissue and coming back around once more it was like tsunami waves crashing into each other earthquakes splitting the world into two my thought of losing you involved planets crumbling astroids colliding and I in the middle of it. Losing you was more like letting sand slip through my fingers and piece by little piece I let you fall away from my tight grip. Losing you was effortless . I expected a mess but it was simple. The world didn't far apart in front of me. You fell out of my hand and blew to the wind. Each piece disappearing alone making no effect-- it wasn't worth a thing.

I find myself Dangerously intoxicated By you So smooth Effortless Stringing words together In a perfect line And like ***** shots I take them all Let them burn my throat Hole in my stomach Toxicity My brain is aching Splitting headache Sharpness in your words Bitterness on my tongue I crave your concoctions Passing out in bathroom stalls At your mercy Don’t you stop Sweet poison Willingly I drink Mad scientist Crazy poet You know your way With words And there There I sit Slurred speech Muddied brain Nothing intelligent to say But-- can I have another drink?
