Different Tastes

each time I tasted your lips I was offered a different flavor.

sometimes it was a bitter fruit of longing for more,

other times it fed me plenty with a saucy satisfaction.

It excited more than anything that I never knew what I was going to get.

I miss that a lot, 

walking into the kitchen seeing you in your rags of wonderful nothings,

putting my arms around you and seeing what I deserved. 

I always knew I got what I had earned from you.

If I wanted the sweet I had to play nice,

If I wanted the sour It meant I was naughty,

now I am neither naughty or nice,

only left with a hunger and a ache, where I long to just have one more taste.
