Twisting the Words I Say

i said black not pink
great not lousy ~
redressing your interpretation
of my every single word
finding the effort's exasperating 

testing my patience
getting under my skin
it’s a game to you

robbing me of my energy
messing up my head
sucking the life right out of me
vampire drama queen
i give up ~
decided I can’t deal with you

Line, What a twist you made in this verse. Calling to the charlatan will never improve odds, in such a lasting curse. -Richard
