Murderous Intent

Y’all won’t miss this one

Complication

that all-inconveniencing noun

I fantasize about having hands around

strong enough for swift strangulation

A comprehensive spell-curse cast

that weakens bonds in its syllables

loosens letters and etymology

Definition erasure in dictionaries

valued for girth

thickness

now absent a word

More like

a long-ass sentence

Compilation of letters irritant over the day to day nights I wish would end

Life's living...much smoother

More luxuriant surpassing scrumptious decadence

Effortless evidence that

the 'person place or thing' thing

ain't missed at all

and prolly better off

dead
