“There are girls who would tear you apart with their lips.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald
a cold clean cut
the tyrannies they swallow day by day
spill out of her mouth
her teeth are razor sharp
and her tongue a quick
clashing of silver
the words formed on her lips
ooze like poison and hurt
in a way no bruise ever would
