Day: Dec 1, 2022

You can try to numb me with static,

Go silent for a month and return with an oasis

Or light a flame within me that tastes like panic,

But I’m too old to get stuck on your phrases.

You go through phases, and I’ve seen enough.

When you look at the harm, do you feel ashamed?

You wanted to see if my core was tough,

If my lavish tongue can finally be tamed.

It doesn’t matter now because I hold the key

And you can no longer see over the fence.

You left a bad taste in my mouth on day three,

Drop your spineless attempts to call me a friend.

You can try to enrage me with a new paramour,

Blast your passion so loud that I lose my target.

But I’m too old to return for more.

You killed my youth,

Don’t try to outsmart it.
