***
|
||
|
||
one of these days in the summer heat
|
||
your sweet sugar will rot my teeth
|
||
planting a seed inside my chest
|
||
and growing a candy cane forest
|
||
|
||
the last I remember of you
|
||
your skin felt like peppermint stew
|
||
with a dash of cotton candy here and there
|
||
leaving finely spun strands everywhere
|
||
|
||
every night for my dessert
|
||
you’d melt into me along with the hurt
|
||
like you dumped sour worms into my wounds
|
||
the chocolate bubbling on the stove will be ready soon
|
||
|
||
your presence won’t disappear from this house
|
||
like the licorice stolen by that one mouse
|
||
sticky blue handprints left on the walls
|
||
elongating as my “lollipop” falls
|
||
