Toxic
She is ,
The poison apple
I immaturely plucked off the tree,
Bittersweet juice I would only allow
Different versions of myself to taste.
Poisoning myself
I’d forgotten I was a product of abundant nature,
A creation with no sense of humanity;
Until she whispered sweet nothings behind my wet ears.
She is ,
The monster under my bed.
A memory I can’t decipher --
A childhood dream? Or reoccurring nightmare ?
“My body still remembers the places you touched”
My tears still scream for her.
She is the first taste of love;
Like a baby reaching for the nipple ,
I cried for her.
She is
“The only person who’s ever touched me”
Soberly, at least --
The only hands I let control me.
She is gone.
But no amount of years could release
Her fingerprints from my body.
