With guns blazing,
she lays the challenge
down at my feetShe thinks I'm too scared;
that I can't cope with
the heatWords turn to bullets,
and neither side will
dare admitThat underneath it all,
we're scared of
getting hit.➶
Flaming arrows disguised
as insults, aimed to burn
you downYou can't run from
this tidal wave, or you'll
slowly drownYou think you're clever,
and you know
it's trueBut no one could have
guessed what I have in
store for you➶
Don't come with pretty
lies, and tell me I'm
too slowI'll make you eat your words,
honey, I was born for
this showAnd when you're finally
broken, amongst all
the rubbleI hope you'll finally realize
that you're in deep
trouble➶
Because our friendship
is like a field of TNT, waiting
to detonateEveryone thinks it's love,
but we know it's
mutual hateWe'll blow your world
to pieces, and tear
you apartDon't tell me that it's
messy. it's a damn work
of art–leonardo r.
