we used to be

so this is delicious.

this warm sticky syrup in my cavity,

cherry-flavored love.

makin' my head hurt with all this

milk-chocolate love...

my favorite ice cream flavor,

so-sprung-i-got-brain-freeze love

 

can i be the cookies? and you be the cream?

it's bittersweet...

but it's beautiful. like warm rain in the South,

walking down the sidewalk barefoot,

like the most amazing kisses, biting lips and ******* tongues,

like climbing a tall mountain,

like freefalling from a plane.

need that high from his needle; i'll deal with the pain tomorrow

our skin tones together in a blender, his eyelashes,

the taste of **** of tenderness...

how come i can't bottle this moment up

and get tipsy off of it, whenever you’re not near?

if i could bag this feelin’ up and sell it on the block, i'd be rich.

but like a shot,

like a slap, like counting stars rolling past,

it's gone.

no words. no fingers. no warm flesh,

just gone
