Explosion

Compulsion

By Ecarg NosivePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I live in a house full of explosives

They could blow up at any moment

Why would she expose us to this

Maybe I don’t know all the components

But she should call it quits so we stay in motion

Why do we stay?

Is it emotion?

Couldn’t be, I see no devotion

And when it comes to me I am an explosive

I keep my mouth shut most of the time

Don’t even listen to his dirty mind

But the tension sails into a crime

Would she bail me out in time?

Or is that exactly what she’s waiting for?

Waiting for me to exert hurt on the floor

Portraying me to be the start of it all so when the house goes up in flames she won’t be the first to fall

And that’s understandable

She’s who keeps us grounded

I’m unmanageable

Lighting me up wouldn’t be astounding

He is tangible

All you have to do is bring up his kids

Because god forbid his teenagers do something wrong

Oh my god I’ve been waiting for so long

I can feel the fuse getting shorter

One of these days I’m going to have to end the torture

And I hope both her and I get out

But if it’s just me I’ll send for help

She deserves more than toxicity

We deserve more of a family

I see an explosion in my near future

I just hope she’s ready for a new her
