Dis...appointment

Is a vein

that throbs at the side of your head

Just a tinge of saltiness in your cranberry juice

Cocktails gone sour, unfinished business

An unsatisfying read, by the end of the night

Words left hanging in the air, with no rope to hold 'em for long

It's a drop of ink in a pack of vinegar

Purity enhanced with a capital P, promise rings worn around your ankle

Disappointment is...a black-eyed pea

dipped in my last breath

and scentless tea
