The festive mood wasn't so contagious,
but it brought me a sense of security,
false as the artificial roses I'd given
to all those whom I had 'loved' before.

The calendar was on its very last page
and I was well on my merry way
to down my final gulp of this concoction:
a blend of gloom and seething rage.

I nursed on the sour poison in my mouth
and mulled over scorned temporaries and
the would-be forevers who got away.
The clock hit twelve; I'm relieved of pain.
A very, very late poem about the end of the year 2014. This is also one of my submissions for the school paper.

I bit upon the shell
It was soft and moist
It bleed candy apple red.

I could feast on it all night,
But I rested for darkness
Conceals deeds not seen
In light.

To long wasted, what was
Full of life now sour,
The core rotting, pungent
Smell of a now hardened shell.

She bleed candy apple red,
Tasted the sweetest I have
Ever had. But now is spoilt,
I threw her away, I took my
Fill and I leave this for another
dinner blind date.

Roses Are Red
Lemons Are Sour
Sugar Is Sweet
Just Like Honey
So Pay Me My Dollar
Bcaues Time Is Money
Oh, I just want to kiss you, dear.
We spoke not for the whole day.
Nothing seems calm; all appears uneasy.
My breath is short; my tongue is sour.
Oh, my heart only desires for you.
It cries for you from within me.

Who knows how it feels,
crying without tears,
eating without wine?
My strides are waste;
the dreams are empty—
I see the whole earth waste.
Only my love brings me joy.
He told me that he loves my flaws,
Then one day my ******* slipped off.
He did indeed love me,
But we just couldn't be.
We still love each other and that's what hurts the most.
I love him from his head to his toes.

when the world ripped us apart it made me sour,
see love was my super power.
and now I'm weak,
I couldn't see what this sourness had done to me.
but now it's just way to late,
To not break hearts and change my ways.
when it comes to love I'm cold as ice,
And for that solitude is my prize.

I wanted to love him for an eternity,
but I was let down and now it's just me.
me who walks alone,
me who's hard as stone.
Me who will not cry,
because I have the biggest pride.
me who had a broken heart,
Me who now breaks all hearts.
Me who smokes to cover my pain,
me who pops rock to get away.

a heart breaker is the most heart broken.

Your love was black and white.
Both evil and kind,
Sour and sweet
I crave both,
Knowing that they will make my heart ache.
My heart will be damaged,
And will forever be scarred.
Suzy Hazelwood Nov 2014
We were perfect
we ran fast
our hands fused in love
I reflecting you
you enhancing me
until we got drunk
on bitter wine
and tasted the sour day

He was the apple I took a bite out of,

savored every droplet of juice that squished out of every bite.
He was the sculpture I touched so softly,

felt every line and bump that my fingers ran over countless times.
He was the boundaries that I climbed over,

adventurous and reckless not worrying about a care in the world.
I was to hungry, I was to longing for touch,

I was to young to know he was a forbidden fruit.
Something I should have never touched.

something told me to run back to you,
never doubted the person that was inside of you,
you ruined my whole sight of virtue,
but the kisses made it clear,
even past your curfew
you would always consume,
instead of assume,
at the time losing you made it terrible,
my life is terrible,
my reputations ruined,
but in your eyes we were both in the same boat too,
even wanted to be engaged to you,
told you that i will be true,
but you took it in consideration,
as me one day leaving you,
same situation i would not dare put you through,
from every detail to your shoes,
i'd never do that to you,
wanted it to be me and you,
and when life hands you lemons,
**** it make lemon juice.
