i won't ever give you half of me,
or any portion other than the whole.

i will tell you everything,
all in the same breath.

i am sorry
i can not separate myself
into bite-sized pieces.

but it is not my fault
that you never learned
to chew.

The sound of your thoughts
crunch through my brain
every time
I chew
through
your
lies

You finally found someone who understands you more than I,
so I guess I will be saying my final goodbye.

When the night will dawn,
the departed will be looked on.
With them will be I,
whispering in your ears a spooky lullaby.

I wish the nights never end,
cause our bond needs to be amend.
I will sit right next to you,
all the nights through.

Bite off more than one can chew.
Your nights I will haunt.
Black and blue to flaunt.
We will always be together,
my hand holding tight to your death tether.

Why is it people bite off more than their willing to chew?

It's only as tough as you make it
Do these words seem right or wrong
I've heard them spoken, almost all of my life
It's natural to think they belong

Let's take the word tough, and define it
What exactly does it mean to you
The meanings it has are many
As an adjective: it's tough to cut or chew

As a noun: your cruel and brutal
And learned to fight in the streets
It also means you might have some pain
And that fabric can take on some beats

So you see it's only what you make it
It's all a point of view
Be ready and willing to take it on
Just remember it is hard to chew....

bite it,

chew it,

it just holds,

around again.

just like,

my broken self respect.

I'm showing him new
ways to *****.
Try to forget the past
lovers, especially the last.
I let him bite and chew
on my recipe for the stew.
Let the precious events glide
while I sat and lied.
But I wouldn't call them
lovers, as they made me numb.
They would sit and stare
with another affair.
They wouldn't want to do
the things he asks me to.

You were
the most
colorful

but your
flavour
was short
lived

"unwraps another"
