Lover’s Promise
Salt licked lips
Shot swilled, swallowed
Lemon luscious savior
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Unending lovely loop
Halted only by
Porcelain base bruise
Forehead on fire
Arms clinging, clumsy
To the toilet base
Stationary sway, shimmy
(Spins, please go away!)
"Never again!"
I vow, prostrate on the floor
(Until next time)
Love
Intoxicating
This isn’t what you think
I used to miss the way you taste but now my tongue turns sour at the memory of you. The first time I saw you, you looked sugary sweet and wonderful. I was young and vulnerable to such things, and I couldn't get enough. But over the years, I had you less and less until you slowly faded away.
Years later, as an older person, I run across you once again at the convenience store. Your lemony yellow aura drew me in, and I had to try you just once again.
You were not what I thought you would be. I had outgrown your sugar. The sour taste that arrives with it is appalling. Your body is sticky and disgusting.
I scrunch up my nose in disgust.
Well, that's the last time I will ever have a lemon sour patch kid.
addiction
I use to miss the way you taste but now my tongue turns sour at the memory of you. You use to give me comfort, but now all i have is shame.
I use to crave you, everything about you.
Your smell
Your rush
I use to miss the way you infected my vanes, my heart, my mind.
I use to miss it all. Everything about you.
The way you could make me feel incredible.
Invincible.
Beautiful.
Then it all changed.
You let me come down. I needed you in my life and you let me come down! I
I looked for you everywhere.. i searched every corner.
I called out to you in pain and agony!
It was over..
I lost my everything.
I lost my self.
...Today i no longer search for you, i no longer crave you.
I don't need your rush and i don't need your smell.I found a way to heal from you.
Everything i do in my life will always be in spite of you.
I use to miss the way you taste but now my tongue turns sour at the memory of you. You.
why
I use to miss the way you taste but now my tongue turns sour at the memory of you. You were the best thing in my life and now you vanish like sand blowing though the wind. Why did leave me for her? Why wasn't I enough for you. I stay here waiting like a dog and you didn't care. You didn't care when I change my hair. You didn't care when I made dinner for us on that snowy night. So why should I cry over someone like you. You left in the cold dark ally with no light to see my way home. So why should I care of you asking me to take you back.
Milk.
I use to miss the way you taste but now my tongue turns sour at the memory of you. You went bad and I neglected you...and for that, I'm sorry. Mother always said how good you were for me. She had so many promises of how you would make me stronger as a person. Healither, even. Although, we must part ways, I did learn something from you. You should never drink spoiled milk.
Soju
I use to miss the way you taste but now my tongue turns sour at the memory of you.You kissed me goodbye on the cheek.You kissed me on the cheek out of what? Pity?Never would I have thought I would be in the "It's not you it's me " situation and if my 16 year old self could see me now she would point and laugh.No.She really wouldn't,I wish she would though.She would cry for the both of us .The rain was enough for me as you drove me back to my apartment"What were you doing passed out in a bar?It's 2:32 am on a Wednesday" "Don't." I whispered. I didn't mean for it to come out so raspy I had wanted to sound authoritative but I choked.'Don't cry! Suck it up you wimp.' I told myself.No I can't cry in front of you but I threw up in your passenger seat."God I'm sorry. I'm sorry."The end of our relationship has dropped me right in the middle of spiting you and sleeping for two weeks.Most of all I want to hurt myself.Right when I thought I couldn't become anymore disgusting in your eyes.I cried."shit shit shit."I quickly closed my eyes and tilted my head back.I only lived ten minutes away but we were hitting every red light ."A simple thank you would suffice.You woke me up." "yeah?" I asked."yeah.""well you woke me up," I retorted.
My mouth bends and forms, stretching to wrap around the soft delicacy that is your name.
How I love the sound when it comes out. The lingering feeling of sweet as my tongue curls to form the name that I want for breakfast, lunch, and dessert.
For you, my love, I have an insatiable sweet tooth.
They tell us in life all things must be enjoyed in moderation.
My desire for you is a never ending craving for a flavor I do not want to cleanse my pallet from.
I did not learn my lesson that with time all things sweet do eventually lose their luster.
I use to miss the way you taste but now my tongue turns sour at the memory of you.
Entanglement
arrows tree hung sharply heart
sound covered with dew feel disappearance
gather handful falling water catvhes the downfall such as you
fogged darkness entanglement
clearing wound tree hung sharply heart
deadwood silence roaming elsewhere thought
darkness of us glittering silence tune, brought the downfall such as you
sunlight that lit entangle heart disappear, covered sharply
arrows tree hung.
