Like full plump cherries Their stone hearts torn out Their carcasses left shredded down the middle Obscene and tempting to any eye that notices Rotting on their own sweet tears Staining and branding the world Even after they are devoured
Like rich tingling honey Stolen from a colony just before winter Condemning them to starve without a care While closing their eyes and scraping One last flavor off the back of their teeth Do the blood-starved spare a thought? As to whether workers of futility truly know despair?
Like chocolate. Freely given from a lover to another Dulcet and sinful as bringing lips together Like promises whispered back and forth That lost their meaning, eroded by life And were made to completely disappear by their demise βUntil death do we part?β They scoff.
