poem 2 comments challenge: Tone

Salt and Honey

Salt and honey
They don't mix, I know that now
Silky sweet with crystal dry
I'm sorry for thinking we would work

Salt and honey
Your sugary tendrils made me dissolve
Now I am nothing, you leave me alone
I wish I could forget you
I wish we never met

    *Applause* Thing about these short pieces is that they are straight to the point and so so powerful. Well done!
