you only come around
to remind me
of the hunger in heart
because i claim
i do not need anything
or anyone
at all.
that’s how you know
i need you
most of all.
i crave you like sugar
because you slide down my
tongue and tickle
my insides.
nobody has heard me laugh
like you have.
you remind me of summer
of strawberries and sunshine
that fade away with harsh rays
and air that cannot be breathed.
it is sweet
until my hunger
consumes me
because I have clamped my mouth
shut
and a tiny taste of you
is enough to
eat me alive.
i am a little girl
whose stomach aches
in a field of poison fruit
and burning sun rays.
