Napkin
When you tread on me,
Tread lightly.
I'm patient, not perfect.
Eventually I will respond.
Odds are, it'll be dirty.
A violent series of actions.
You can't clean up a catastrophe
With a couple paper napkins.
Don't seek a front row seat
And just watch it all happen.
It's called justice, darling.
Accept the consequences of your actions.
-Tylor Sherman


Napkin

I used to write love letters to strangers on napkins
I would let them know how beautiful I thought they were
And the best part was, they believed me
Now all I want to do is fuck and fight
And write hate letters to people who don't know how to drive

We were just an idea jotted down on a dinner napkin
Placed in a pocket and thrown away; within that very day
We were living proof of social Darwinism; we lacked the tenacity to survive
The both of us just stepping stones to something better
Still I regret not fighting for you; you were worth more than a shrug of my shoulders
Regret is a great giver of wisdom
I learned to fight for what is worth fighting for
No matter how bloody things may get; you take what is yours
Because of you, I gave up on…giving up
Thank you
