Your welcome is a smile
Held by your cheeks
Teeth longing to chatter
A tongue willing to speak

I can’t hear the noise
Sometimes it’s just static
My brain is chaotic
How I long for an interest
My poetry is unlike theirs
I pull out all of my hairs
To make a decision
To go there
I’m in despair

Our love is like winter flies
Hopefully winter flies by
Because I feel your lies
They settle on my skin
Searing my flesh
Akin to being set
On
Fire

I stay close to the words you say
I still never let them ruin my days

I can’t sing the number
But I’ll sit next to you
You look stiff as lumber
We let them belt it out
I don’t have perfect pitch
You always do, to me
If I let you take out my stitches
Eyes are pointed at me
I’m humiliated
It’s humiliating
You can’t save me
Why do you even try?
You say you need me
Move on to the next lie
I’m just trying to survive

Fear is the tingling in my toes
This type of energy flows and flows

I need a break
For god’s sake
Give me a steak
Or lobster on a plate
Wanna feel elated
These necklaces are
Gold plated

******
Let’s search the next chorus
For a line that is wise
If it is, they say it twice
Or trice
No one tries to be nice
I don’t understand these guys
