emotions preserved like peaches in heavy syrup _too sweet_ forgetting all the bad reveling in thick happiness of the past- take a whiff and i can taste your smile again -again a thing that was done already a safe haven you look back on i impale a slimy peach slice with a fork try to shake off excess preserve while it drips back into the cup gave me flashbacks of how my heart looked in your hand while blood trickled down your forearm like a melted icee graze teeth against the flesh and you’re still here -still, again funny words for beautiful fools things go back to the way they should’ve been not how they were and i pick up the container knowing that they have grown too rich -old.
