TOXIC

•~•

i'm toxic for you;

i can tell by the way

you spit me out

after one taste.

am I bittersweet?

or just too sour?

do my words

make your eyes water?

my presence-

does it make you

thirst for someone sweet?

was the aftertaste of

my love

too much

for your palate

that you had to disguise

your dissatisfaction

with desert?

i was poison to you-

as are all things

vibrant and beautiful;

it's a self-defense tactic

to prevent from being

swallowed

whole.
