we are demons
swallowing gasoline and
spitting out fire
words
like cats paws that shred
the wings of butterflies

our firewords come
from blackened hearts
and poisoned lungs
to attack
like cats paws that shred
the wings of butterflies

we are demons
dancing in flames and
burning down those we envy
like cats paws that shred
the wings of butterflies

our flames come
from jealous hearts
scorching away purity
like cats paws that shred
the wings of butterflies
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
What an utter lie.

For #DearWriter's contest, From The Heart.

...i'll probably fix this up a little more later.
