I hadn't eaten
in ages and
he gave me
a 5 course meal.
If you eat too soon,
you'll burn
your tongue,
but if you eat
too late
the food will
be cold.
If you indulge
in too much,
you vomit.
These things
one can only know
when they've done
it all before.
I was new to it,
and I didn't understand
what the food was
supposed to taste like
and, additionally,
what it meant if
I got burnt.

A poem about being inexperienced in love. When you've been neglected and starved of love for most of your life, you don't know what it looks like or even what it feels like. This is actually a text taken directly from a book I'm rewriting. The old version of it is still published under the name My Beginning And The End.
