little things

little little things that lay between my tongue and cheek

always the little things that sprout a doubt and flow such agony 

we murder our mothers we murder ourselves

the little things simmer inside us and we disguise the insidious devil we created 

the little things chip away at trust and love

the little things compel us to bury, to hide the little monsters 

it's always the little things that stop us from living

those secrets, those painful moments we never speak of because of fear

you can't take away what you've never had, so let go of these little things and learn to live like you should have
