Curse of an evil tongue

I spit venom when it’s bad
Just know, I try hard
It’s not just every day mad
When I pull this card

It isn’t that I’m proud
I have an evil tongue 
I bite until it bleeds
Til the final sting has stung

But enough is enough
And “my” enough is a ton
Once I hit that point
I can’t un spin the webs I’ve spun

The words begin to ooze
They’re thick and they stick
There’s nothing to undo
The choice won’t be un picked
