Regurgitate

-Stan & Wendy from South Park (Stan’s perspective)

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

once, every single word you said was like the silkiest, finest dark chocolate, coloring my thoughts with peppered bits of something hot and hopeful

I regurgitate my lonely mouth feeling now, the only time I let myself remember is when I go out of the memory like skipping part of a song

Somewhere it hangs over in the air

It drips like poison from a dragon that was born out of a fountain of sunshine

I regurgitated it

My heart is heaving, dripping the first bites of trouble

Can I fight the dragon that has fallen between us?

Is the dragon sent by you to keep me away?

All these sweet songs don’t make me cry, no

More than that, it’s like my whole body has rejected it’s notes and it’s saccharine smells

Too much sugar

Not right now

Regurgitating this nonsense

I’m sure it’ll stay gone.

Just

Like

You.
