and Worse Yet Ambitious

my tongue tastes like cheap girls

and my mother’s disapproval

if I had any indication of a mind

it would be primed for removal

 

what a mess I’ve made of myself

and an even grander one of she

she really should have known better

I can’t even bring myself to love me

 

I’m vicious, and malicious

with venom in my kisses

I’m lonely and I’m listless

always your favorite sickness

seduction like it was seditious

amiable, and worse yet ambitious

 

sights and sickness set on you

I’m the monster inside your bed

like something similar to a siren

my songs stained inside your head

 

if love is truly a great battle field

no holds barred war will be waged

I will destroy and devour all in sight

no one will be saved, I am a lion caged

 

I’m vicious, and malicious

with venom in my kisses

I’m lonely and I’m listless

always your favorite sickness

seduction like it was seditious

amiable, and worse yet ambitious
