Gathering wood for the bonfire

Words are false idols

never knew silence could be so loud
the darkness brings light to memories I wish to forget
your words stuck on fucking replay tormenting my every thought
I will love you forever
echoing inside my head like a bullet that cant penetrate the “white meat”
yeah, I keep my shit locked away
happiness only comes a couple days a month
blonde hair with blue eyes screaming daddy jumps from the car
the same car I’ve imagined burning down with you and your new semen donor in it
she’s grown so much in the last few years
soon able to make choices for herself
I pray to whatever god that’s listening
when you see us drive away
those words bring you peace like they have me
