I burnt my tongue a week ago-- Too much of scalding coffee and lies [on your part], But I swallowed it with a couple of anti-depressants I have forgotten how creamy, toffee powdered mocha tastes like and your lips, They used to taste like macchiato, as time passed by,                                                                          Maple leaves drizzled autumn, burst into slashing icy winter, Your lips started tasting like black coffee, like tar, most of the days it’s only a figure of speech, Warning sign blinking all day long in my head, when I can’t hold it in my fingers, When it’s escaping out of my grasp, ready to run, making space for the sugary vanilla layer But then there are days, when you find your way back underneath my sheets, My duvet, the only witness, sadly silent all too similar to my will power screaming inside my head, And here are you fictious sentences, framed with such precise, Knocking down all the walls I tried to built, leading to defeat,                                                                                      Holding me chained like a slave. All my fury fueled sentences burn like fire, vengeful riff of an electric guitar within my mind, When your fingers encircle me, rough nibs of your lips on the nape of neck, palm tracing lies on my tailbone All the fire drowns in crafted lies, ashes of my dignity scattered, a bleak watered down-                                                                                Note of a single string as the soundtrack of my misery. I burnt my tongue last night-- Too much of your blazing skin and lies but I spitted it all out, This brittle heart not so brittle anymore heated at 1,300*c, on the kiln again and again-                                                                                                              To form an everlasting nature. Arteries have clotted, hatred burning bright within, lungs suffocating starving for oxygen and blood, Like the dragon breathes fire, I’ll breathe out the scathing curses; and leave with my dignity intact Barely responding to all your shameless deeds.

I burnt my tongue -
I burnt my tongue a week ago-- Too much of scalding coffee and lies [on your part], But I swallowed it with a couple of anti-depressants I have forgotten how creamy, toffee powdered mocha tastes like and your lips, They used to taste like macchiato, as time passed by,                                                                          Maple leaves drizzled autumn, burst into slashing icy winter, Your lips started tasting like black coffee, like tar, most of the days it’s only a figure of speech, Warning sign blinking all day long in my head, when I can’t hold it in my fingers, When it’s escaping out of my grasp, ready to run, making space for the sugary vanilla layer But then there are days, when you find your way back underneath my sheets, My duvet, the only witness, sadly silent all too similar to my will power screaming inside my head, And here are you fictious sentences, framed with such precise, Knocking down all the walls I tried to built, leading to defeat,                                                                                      Holding me chained like a slave. All my fury fueled sentences burn like fire, vengeful riff of an electric guitar within my mind, When your fingers encircle me, rough nibs of your lips on the nape of neck, palm tracing lies on my tailbone All the fire drowns in crafted lies, ashes of my dignity scattered, a bleak watered down-                                                                                Note of a single string as the soundtrack of my misery. I burnt my tongue last night-- Too much of your blazing skin and lies but I spitted it all out, This brittle heart not so brittle anymore heated at 1,300*c, on the kiln again and again-                                                                                                              To form an everlasting nature. Arteries have clotted, hatred burning bright within, lungs suffocating starving for oxygen and blood, Like the dragon breathes fire, I’ll breathe out the scathing curses; and leave with my dignity intact Barely responding to all your shameless deeds.
