This love, the sharpest knife

But this love,

it isn’t the sharpest knife

like the ones before

that carved out a pound of flesh

of whichever part of me

most pleased them.

This love is a silver-plated butter knife,

pearl handles in your gentle hands

spreading luscious crème de Pistache

across my war-torn

croissant shapes.

Thank you for my muse for blessing me with an abundance of inspiration, especially when it comes to cheesy love poems. (This one was not so cheesy though.)

I love crème de Pistache, but I never had a real French croissant in my life.
