The Vile Mouth

I wish the Earth would swallow me whole
like the demon spawn I am
take me to the furnace and burn my being

such shame I feel at the words I spout while drinking
awaking the next day just to be slammed
with acidic guilt that eat at the heart and mind

I can't seem to break this cycle
drinking to forget the pain
which leads me to leak from both sides of my bile spilling mouth

burning holes in others what a bitch I must seem to be
the words I say come crashing down on me wave after wave
hiding from the world seems to be my only answer

being like a cancerous tumor which spreads to all I touch
my pain so black I can hardly contain it
I wish to bury myself in a hole

where the light doesn't shine
with a muted mouth that doesn't
scorch those it touches
