Verbal War

I try to say the perfect words
I try to get it right
But when I open up my mouth
I always start a fight

I want to show my love for you
With sweet poetic words
But instead hateful curses spewed
My tongue a piercing sword

Every time I go to talk
The words come out twisted
And then the verbal war begins
I wish never existed

I tell you that my love is true
But you think it a lie
For all I do is poison you
With words that make you cry

I wonder if this goes to show
That we aren't meant to be
You deserve a tender girl
A girl who isn't me

Maybe I'm a toxic breeze
Clouding your lungs and eyes
But I will always love you
Even if it's my demise
