Peering Through Teeth

You're peering through your teeth at me

I can feel your hostility

And it makes me want to wait and see

Just what this has got to mean

Because I know just how sharp your tongue can be

But you're so busy glaring don't know if you can speak

And I'll walk by a time or three

Give plenty a-opportunity

To make me wanna slink away and drink

Until you go away or sink

Under my inebriation

And I'm loosing patience

Oh it makes me wanna

Just makes me wanna

Catch a glance out of the corner of my eye

Blurred and slurred, tonight we're not shy

March right up, the stumbling guy

Who says what's what and tells no lie

Thou in the morning he'll puke and cry

Not to recall a single line

Of the enlightenment turned apology

Awkwardly suggesting to the possibly offended

A bridge carelessly burnt, now work to be mended

But no matter the time spent or handy-work used

It will always hold a tired look, abused

If not one thing the another

If not speaking clearly then a stutter

And shaking with little tremmers

Caused by lifes over anxious cues

To speak up a little louder, perhaps with out the *****

But we all know that can't be

So I sit in a corner

In my hostility I stew

Peering through my teeth at you
