Bitter Taste


Mirror, mirror on the wall…

Brown eyes, beautiful, smokey, and tall

Curly, long, dark brown hair

Regular trims here and there

Square forehead and a decent nose

No make-up and black painted toes

Long lashes and threaded eyebrows

Pierced ears with diamond hand-me-downs

Bones and blood that runs through her veins

10 second conversation makes you question your game

Heart that beats, and pumps with a purpose

You’ll see what she shows only on the surface

Smells like flowers in the morning then reeks like after-gym sweat

Doomed to be your worst nightmare, and an ultimate regret

Eyes encompass a mystery, while her smile screams, “Save me.”

Just one glance, will drive you crazy

Secret, Sexy, Simple, and Sweet

A curvy waist with bitter taste of the real me.
