Chewing this artificially flavored candy
I ponder the best way to phrase this
As my tongue explores the roof of my mouth
Parched and bitter with resentment
Dissecting emotions pulling them apart
Meanwhile I hope will sweeten the words
I’m about to exhale
Words that come with a bite and a sting
That aren’t afraid of dissent
Creating an unpleasant air
That even Lysol can’t mask
With its chemicals
And its poison
Filling up
Until both of us choke
On tainted love
