i cut it open
an afternoon treat on a sunny day
those blood oranges screamed of you.
beautiful & vibrant
tender & lovely
deep & fragrant
i couldn't eat them.
i gazed at their beauty
each angle better than the one before
i carried them with me all day
thinking of you
an ache in my heart
as if I needed a reminder
that I chose to set you free.

i cut it open
an afternoon treat on a sunny day
those blood oranges screamed of you.
beautiful & vibrant
tender & lovely
deep & fragrant
i couldn't eat them.
i gazed at their beauty
each angle better than the one before
i carried them with me all day
thinking of you
an ache in my heart
as if I needed a reminder
that I chose to set you free.
letting go but deeply in love.
