sweet (12/27/19)

July 6, 2020

honeysuckle lips

almost touching mine, but not quite

they drip below

the crook of my nose,

slide down,

down,

down...

to the tip of my tongue.

words of adoration taste sickly sweet,

but confessions deathly sour.

i can't wash the pungent taste out of my mouth.
