Rotten

Rotten fruit is still fruit, no matter how bitter or sour the taste

I don't keep rotten fruit in my house, there is no what if, or case.

 

Decomposition is the fate, once a fruitful piece of life, is now death,

served, rotting in its place.

 

I won't be the piece of fruit rotting from the inside out,

because of the fruit that surrounds me.

 

You smell is getting stronger, your taste; undesirable.

I cannot digest, your unrepairable.

 

One last time I will reiterate,

I don't keep rotten fruit in my house, there is no what if, or case.
