Relentless

You ask why I relentlessly express Every swallow drags across the rockwall of things I wish I’d said

Poetry

Spider in my head

Your friendship tastes like apricot candy Soft, squishy, chewy and dandy Thighs thick Wit quick Bonding over jayvik I hooked you on epic A whole new man Call and response kinda getting out of hand I understand you only exist in my head I can't finish this poem

The man behind the mask
