Consumed By Words

November 30th, 2021

Your words were like motive
With secret intention
Was this premeditated
Consuming me with attention
Your words were filling
I swallowed them up
Drunk on emotions
I couldn’t get enough
Your words were dwindling
Like our conversation
You can’t build anything
Without a foundation
Your words were like quicksand
Struggling not to sink
Holding on to life as I knew it
Which you made me rethink

The words are flowing with no end
Unparalleled to the thoughts in my head
Faster than I can process the feelings
Uncertain when I unraveled to the last thread

My thoughts are louder than my own voice
Forcing words together that don’t want to fit
I can’t find a reason or time to escape
I can’t fix this mess when I never learned to knit

Write About It

Nothing but Taylor Swift on the radio
What perfect background noise
She knows the words I want to say
But presents with much more poise
Treacherous like my playlist
I picked out these songs
Then I left it all nameless
Because I knew that it was wrong
Invisible strings tugging at my heart
I don’t respond like I should
I only imagined this in my wildest dreams
So I’ll do what Taylor Swift would
