You knew **** well how I felt.. but you still said you wished I’d told you
Gemma Aug 28
The smell of liquor in your breath brings me dread
Mixed with a low passion deep in my belly
I know that you’ll lick me extra nice
But also lie to me, be inconsistent, and in no way like the person I created in my head for you

Before you reconsider:
Remember how it feels when he comes home when the sun is up
How it feels when hours go by and he says nothing to you
When he tells you he’ll try so hard to be better and then takes you to buy cigarettes
How the smell of liquor on his breath brings you dread

Bike tires
Gravel

Paint
Rocks
Good cooking

Fleeing
Eyes closed
chased by a philosophy
Rather than a lion
I think I’d prefer the lion

Like ash in my mouth
Like battery acid in my veins
Skidding along the ground
Metal on metal
The burnout

I hold the knife,
I always hold the knife
Ready to cut
