blemished figs, rotten pomegranates - lets not leave it here



the fig i picked has a little taste
a slight bit of rot
But it's just a piece
i'll keep you
i was taught to not waste my food
i'll try to look past the rot
try to make it work
it harmed me
but i can try to make it work
you try to make it up to me
with the sweet areas underneath the skin
but in the back of my throat
that rotten piece still sits

its a tang left over
one i will taste for years
i know i wont escape
that harmful rotten taste
in the buds of my tongue
it'll still sit

10 years later
if we can make it that long
that taste will still come back
and it will be just as strong
i wont gag
or blame you much
you're just a man
and the rotten parts are just a fainted touch
maybe you thought i was rotten
just for a small bit
maybe the taste in my lips
was the putridity beyond what i bit
but i promise it was you
you were so sweet until then
i hope the bitter taste of your small piece is not the bitter end
