my acidic tone
washed down by
the bile burning taste
of beer
I want to say don't play with me
I want to say I wont play games
I won't care about what you say
but the truth is your ice eyes
melt the void
speak the truth
and yet each conclusive thing
I've been faced with
comes crumbling down
the walls are exposed
I pretend there's this steel exterior
rotting me from the inside out
keeping me from feeling
the truth isb I'm not some
flimsy cardboard cutout girl
I'm much more
and I don't have it in me to pretend
anymore
that that's what you want
no emotion
