choking on the truth

sucking on a sucker

running down the alley

away from worthlessness. it's dusk. the lovely

pink sky eggs me on. thinking of you

i roll this candy on my tongue. i throw a rock in the air

but it doesn't go anywhere. reminiscent of this sugar lump

it seems to be lodged in the centre of my throat. choking on the truth. i thought it was my candy

but i'm choking on the truth. discreetly i try to cough it out

try to scream and shout. everchanging flights of ideas

my life is surely

flashing right before my eyes. you have a way. you startle me. i laugh. i face reality. this is a pill of strong will

and

as you intended

so hard to swallow. choking on the truth. i thought it was my candy

but i'm choking on the truth. i am honesty

and this is hard. you were everything i ever want. your memory is sweet candy

the flavors fading away. sucking on a sucker

running down the alley. running over all the things i could have done differently. you were mean to me. i didn't mean to be so real

and pure

and simple

and honest

and you make me sad. you make me mad. you're making me choke!

choking on the truth. i thought it was my candy

but i'm choking on the truth. choking on the truth. i thought it was my candy

but i'm choking on the truth.
