Pick me up

Like a half-eaten lollipop

you left me discarded

savored my sweetness

lapped me right up

Rainbow coating

dissolved in your mouth

slowly

then suddenly

I got all muddled

and blended and

my color ran out

Now what to do

lying colorless

and sticky

and awkwardly bent

Pick me up

Pick me up

I’m half-devoured

not all the way spent
