Talking

Simplicity is the greatest key.

“I always wondered if, maybe you were mean to me because, well, you loved me. I know you’ve tried to tell me before but I wasn’t ready to listen. But now…”                Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie (2017)

You talked about,

dissing with guts,

giving it your all.

I have my mind in the

clouds, heart in hell and

this soul in heaven.

Your friend has the mind

of a pig, glass body that

appears to him through

video game models.

Now you lie through

your teeth, like your lips

are of grapefruit

and you never cried.

I may not be able to see

into the future but the past

loves to talk, tasting sorrow

like an ice-cream cone.

Talking about texts that don't exist,

saying she was the gardening hoe,

that planted the flowers. So you

became the rain that watered their

shade.

Girls love to play ring around the rosie,

turning into black widows, to spin

lies like pros. Becoming ghosts through

text messages.

Birds with tongues as worms love

to fly without word or moment to give.

Under their wings, its like selfish lies

on their colored feathers.

Take a look good in the mirror,

you don't wanna look like willy wonka

or Violet. Take a good lesson from

Melanie Martinez, who can pull it off

in a second.

Now he loves speaking snake,

riding dragons, spewing fire

on your corpse before you

became alive like a hollow scarecrow.

Honey, and dear the honeymoon

is almost over. That's the phase

of high school, ring around the moon

before the child comes.

Floods are filling up, rain is

washing down and yet you keep

bathing in the moon's tide.

My heart belongs to god,

while your good nature only

truly lives in limbo.
