Sweet... so sweet at first; as if intending to overbear, and then in a moment's breath, the intensity having mellowed fades. Next one's tongue does greet, a nuttiness that begs it to retreat; reviving dead memories of when you two first did meet. Having now fallen from heights, be they slope or steep; the taste of your tongue becomes bittersweet. Ending this final kiss, silently pledging to lose neither hope nor sleep; heartbreak leaves the taste of caramel upon your teeth.

Caramel.
Sweet... so sweet at first; as if intending to overbear, and then in a moment's breath, the intensity having mellowed fades. Next one's tongue does greet, a nuttiness that begs it to retreat; reviving dead memories of when you two first did meet. Having now fallen from heights, be they slope or steep; the taste of your tongue becomes bittersweet. Ending this final kiss, silently pledging to lose neither hope nor sleep; heartbreak leaves the taste of caramel upon your teeth.
How should one best wash this taste from their teeth? How should one erase the perpetual reminder... of love's defeat; that clings to the tongue and teeth, with the taste of caramel bittersweet?
