Sleeping With Ghosts

by roberta-day

I feel this is going nowhere And I’m just here for your ego To know I’m still a fish on the hook For when you’re ready to eat You make no efforts of security Or curiosity, and preached about depth when You’re standing in the shallow end I should know your plagiarized speeches And your fake woke phrases The grand risings happening are the realizations in my head That you use your mouth for talking but not giving head The energy faded as soon as you had your cake That post-sugar high come down Spoiling your appetite for something sustainable, savory, and fresh The only thing you’re craving Is the sweet taste of flesh
