sweet then sour

my emotions leak out of my pores

as i pour my aged tears in my wine glass

here baby,

have a sip of my saltiness and tell me..

how does that taste?

as bitter as the woman i have become

i was once sweet and succulent as i leap lightly while swaying my sundress as my skin scintillates in the sun.

anyone who sat and was bitterly brewed, i'd swing by and add some sweetness in the mix.

with me, your day has turned into sweet tea.

but i traded my sugar for lemon juice that

i pour on my opens wounds

caused by you

since i no longer feel

because my sun has been hidden

so i no longer glow

my sundress no longer sways

i no longer leap

i stagger and

sit stiff

with my legs sown shut

remaining stagnant

i no longer flow

so please,

dont touch me

unless it's to sooth me

which i know you can't do.

all you know is pain so that's all i have to gain.
