#86. Floetry by JulietKego: Bitter Kisses

July 30, 2015

The scars are
long covered and healed
Yet the pain remained
open and fresh,
oozing out
Into the scentless airs
Of the air (s)he breathes

Sweet juices
Sweeter kisses
Sugar and spice
Half truths and lies
Bitter tongues
The bile mixed in, in the
memory of old wrongs

The bodies come short
The bodies succumb
The bodies come
The heart is numb
The heart is long
undone, gone

Heartbreak songs
Heartbreak songs….
Hey,
Pity not, sorry not.
(S)He’ll love again,
someday
But not just today.
