Rocket Ship- I Spit Fire
I spit fire
to remind you
to strategically align your verbs correctly in a sentence
or perhaps you'd like to see me correct you
oh wait, You correct I?
That seems about right
that sums it about up
and just when you figure you've had enough-
poof!
You're gone.
Cause you run.
You run from your feelings,
you run from reality instead of taking the beating
you run from your own self judgment,
self worth
don't tell me I didn't love you enough
I sat by you while you spat vomit in my face
while your hands twisted my neck-
rope-burn-
the sensation
you feel when there's no hope
nothing but doubt echoing
louder
and louder
but wait
is that retaliation?
Or a mirage of he-the one he pretended-
the one who was happy
had his life together.
Instead you pity me
Pitiful thinking
brings pessimistic events
so while you're still stuck in denial
unable to forgive yourself
unable to trust
I'll be flying over you,
hitting an excess speed
This mission is aborted
You lit my rocket ship
