Whatever You Say

The jarring disparity between the sweet smile that graces your face

And the wry, snarky retorts you always say

Never cease to befuddle my brain

I adore rhetoric, prose, and breaking down logical fallacies

It's my bread and butter these days

But all that knowledge dissipates when you turn my way

I'm stunned and speechless

For once, I don't know what to say

There has to be a better rebuttal to being called an idiot than this

"Shut up."

That's all I can muster in response to whatever you say

Because as soon as I meet your gaze

All common sense flies away

Chaos flurries through my mind and leaves me in dismay

I'll get back at you someday
