You Consume Me /Poetry

swatting the flies

I swat all of the flies away, thinking it's better off this way anyways....

Without anything bugging me, ignoring their presence.

Pretty soon they are going to consume me.

You speak lies and flies fly out of your mouth and spread to my ears like wild fire.

My head is burning and I'm ignoring it, all the flies, all your lies. I let them consume me whole,
