It's all fine and dandy until someone says three words
i love you
are you okay?
i miss you
It's all fine and dandy until someone says four words
you are my everything
it's okay to cry
come back to me
stop talking to me
It's all fine and dandy until someone says five words
i love you too much
please stay with me forever
what went wrong with us?
i don't recognize you anymore
i can't ******* do this


It's all fine and dandy until the words that leave your lips tear holes in my stomach
Until the syllables that were once flowers become a bouquet of riffles
Until the letters in each word are strategized military formations
And each necessary breath is a cease fire
Until I'm a captive to your speech, ******* by your comments,
Your voice slicing up my wrists like old rope
Until your smirk is the queue for the canons,
Your tongue an airborne dagger
Your lips a false surrender as your teeth hide behind with drawn weapons
Your body language leaving me to bleed out as you standby for further instruction
Everything is fine and dandy
Until you open your ******* mouth.
