chromosome

Your tongue has thorns
The stench has hands
Clinging onto my roof
Spreading its legs
The taste takes its own form
Through salivation and cavities
Gotta get crowns put in after you

Can't tell if this is my chemistry
Or the result of me having lost my teeth
I bite you like I'm senile
Decided I've given up
I can barely gnaw my way through the minted floss of your heart
Corroding slowly through calloused touch
And the buffness of unpolished nails

You flatten my gloss
When you leave, I'm frightened and lost
When you go, it's bittersweet
Don't know where I can find my stage
I've been training for a game I don't want to play

Y chromosome out of habit
And never from attraction
Shaving through my X
Until to you, I'm just a V
I lose parts of myself
When you become one with me

Corroding my limbs
Like rust, bronze to green
Fingernails so acidic
When they sink in my cheeks

Reprimand me for being tempting
Too alluring to your simple mind
I can't control magnetism
The aura my vessel possesses
So I dull myself to choose the path of my predetermined victimhood
All for something I'm indifferent to
The facts of being in my shoes

You flatten my gloss
When you leave, I'm frightened and lost
When you go, it's bittersweet
Don't know where I can find my stage
I've been training for a game I don't want to play
You flatten my gloss
When you leave, I'm frightened and lost
When you go, it's bittersweet
Don't know where I can find my stage
I've been training for a game I don't want to play

And now, habitual destruction
