spread
deep
the love
i spread
hardly returned
spread heartily
like
pb&j
that u devour
easily
between
2 slices of my heart
munching away
eagerly
licking
each
finger
clean
of
me
did u ever stop
to wonder
about that
wonder bread
u were using
to scoop me up
& gulp me down
a love
i did not invite
a loss
i did not delight
a sorrow
that offered
no foresight
but
i’ll try again
with
someone
else
don’t u see
there’s no
stopping me
i have been
the tangy
in between
the fresh
tomato
the crispy
green
the miracle
in
his
whip
ure not the first
to lose my attentions
to regret my affections
to fail the inspection
of what ure
all about
i hope
u know too
i hope
u learned to
savor my
flavor
before u
soured ure
power
once
i am lost
to u
& u swallow
& digest
& u wallow
in distress
missing me
u’ll try again
with
someone
else
then
u’ll see
everyone else
is just
a
‘sammich’
