I don't speak in the same tongue as you.

Your words twist like serpents, and strike for the kill but I'm numb from the venom of your first bite.
{i thought i could hide behind aesthetic dreams forever and a day, but when i peeked out from behind closed doors, the reality struck me like lightening. i only had one shot, darling, for lightening doesn't stike the same spot twice.}

I never learnt French.

The language of romance, of charm and craft. And you speak it oh so well.
{your cunning words flow like rapids and it takes all concentration to keep up with the mere phonetics i can't understand. translated into english, your cunning words slither and climb up my body, crushing my whole entity. each time my organs crumble to dust. stranglution doesn't better the heart.}

Foreign words are overrated.

I don't need them to understand you. Your expressions reads like a bestseller and it scares me.
{your inner thoughts become clearer and clearer as you speak, the fog in front of my eyes slowly starts to rise, allowing my eyes to explore my surroundings. it seems you've got me under your rock and i'm not strong enough to vanish from here. i can't even break free from your iron grasp.}


Maybe you'll forget over time?

So here I'll wait until you forget these misconstrued words or one day squeeze to hard on your lifeless victim.

{by than all i could ever wish is to never to see a snake again.}
