The taste of your lips
that I waited for
for so long
still lingers in my mouth.

I just ate a Tic Tac and it tasted
different.
Like cough medicine or a
stale marshmallow.

The taste is not good.

Sometimes when
I'm wrapped around
his body,

I have
the strangest
strongest
urge

to bite
deep into
his skin,
until my
white teeth
flash against
the beauty
inside of him...

Maybe because
I'm curious to find out
if he tastes
as delicious as
he smells.
