Regurgitation

I ate a little too much...

bit off way more than I could chew.

I thought I had it under control

'til suddenly I threw

everything up.

All that I ate (plus interest too)

went flying across the room

and landed

splattering, splashing, everywhere.

That pretty smile,

the light in your eyes,

grew dark.

Nothing was what it appeared to be.

I on the other hand,

felt better,

lighter,

more blissful than before.

So strange how regurgitation

can hurt another more.

Perhaps I should wipe everything up

squeaky clean just like before.

But there will remain the filthy rags,

with contents putrid and foul.
