This is the last time you'll suck
drain me of my tears
my strength
and hope all in one thoughtless moment.
The bite of your voice has become unbearable
and I am wasting away on the drug of your sarcasm.
Don't tear my heart
don't bother
because you can't cause another rip
in what was already shredded.
So use the front teeth of your voice
go ahead
and you'll see now that I can bite
and rage
and become the animal you think you are.
I'm wrecked
crushed beneath the weight of the steering wheel
and you can't touch me here
because I'm already angry
already suffocating beneath the pressure of the twist in my reason.
There are seasons, sometimes quitely arranged within my heart
and this is a cold one
carefully manufactured by the slip of a precision blade
made of sharpened thoughtless words.
(and every artist of love has contributed to the cruelty)
It cuts a deep path made of cooled down tears
and in this moment
you are unbearable for my heart to yield to.
Rest your tongue, Dear.
It is tired from your multiple apologies
that scream and beg from beneath the futility of their demise.
I lean towards temper more
and can you handle it?
Can you learn the side of me that can't be forgiving?
Can you really continue to break my will with your words
and expect to live with the me you'll create with your weapons of choice?
Don't tangle your sword with mine
I'm resolved.
If you want a battle
I'm willing to defend
to conquer
to never bend to the sway of your harsh wind.
I'm tasting the clash of wills in an early omen wind
and the sparks will blind us both in the end,
but if you want a battle
It is my instinct
to deliver a hard fist in the face of your stubborn temper.
And Dear, if you want love
you'd better start rewriting the second half of your script.

"two hearts will build the foundation for one point of light
a duet done with passion"
