The inner growl Jul 2018
Ooooh my patience is so thin

I don’t even know where to begin

You say my voice is loud

But I think you’re the only one listenin’


I know that’s not true
But it’s like I’m painting in the wrong hue

To a colorblind audience
Who can’t even tell the difference

Burn the canvas or let the colors run?

Holes here and there from my tiny sharp blade
Colors bleeding in the fibers and leaving a stain

All of this is just contraction pains

I can’t wait for the fresh breath of this rebirth of gain.

I never wanted to be the one to accept your blame

I’m not the reason you’ve found yourself in this stupid game

Don’t point your eroded finger at me
You did this to yourself

You didn’t know it’d be for eternity?

Do you really expect the healer of all to be me?

I’m not trained, not certified

To handle all the times you lied

What can you even say that I believe
..

I mean do you even love me?


I’m just your safety net
I’m just your safe bet
You think I’ll stick around for some benefit

But I’m starting to understand that there’s never an open bit

I want to run
I want to be done

But you and your manipulation has me
Under the gun

I deserve more than this
I deserve to be in bliss
I deserve a passionate kiss

I deserve more than this
The inner growl Jul 2018
Wind me up
You make my head spin

You manipulate me
With your brightest sin

The evil twin
I can’t resist you

I want you so bad
I want you

She said
You slay me

I said under my breath
Save me

She probably doesn’t remember
So I guess I’ll remind her
Before Mid September

I don’t mean to demean
I don’t mean to be mean
I don’t mean to intervene
I don’t mean to make a scene
I just want to come clean
I see you in every dream
I just want to scream
I instead choose to gleam
I continue to lean
I continued to lean
I want you to learn
I want you

She sneaks out at night
She doesn’t blink
She smiles

The land mines
She sets
Here and there
Wherever
You let

To be one
And separate
Together
Apart

Diminish the night
With a few broken hearts

— The End —
