Naysayer

I'm drawing a blank as to what sparked this.

Let me move closer

To ease your burden

Deepen the intact upon me

If I make this easier on you

Could you take a break from it?

Blunt, tactless, and without forethought

Words fall from your lips

Stinging, putrid, and vile

Attempts to cover with sweet scents

Lasting far too short to cover your verbiage

Speaking of the pain in my words

When I only say how I feel

If my words can cause wounds

Yours should be able to kill

Weight of malice heavy upon your breath

Forked tongue wrought of demons

Issues unchallenged or attempted to forget

If your paternal guide still walked this earth

Would you speak the same

Slicing all down with abated breath
