you were my favorite fruit 

one i seemed to always crave 

with strawberry flavored lips

that satisfied every craving once

leaves my lips now dry 

after you left a bitter aftertaste

when you changed your mind.

we moved through the cycle of love 

blossoming countless fruits from my heart

you wouldn’t care for them and left them to rot 

my heart laid petrified and betrayed 

as the animals devoured it’s juices until drained

now, do you like the sour flavor? 

do you like the sudden change 

of my pineapple heart? 

eating you from the start 

and slowly tearing you apart.

it’ll never taste the same 

and you’re the one to blame 

for the sweet taste 

you tried to ruin.
