Pineapple Juice
So deliciously sweet but so fiercely bitter.
The taste is like pure sugar in the form of you.
At the time it was all I ever wanted to consume.
Every morning, day and night.
'Just a little more won't hurt' but it did.
The bitterness filled my taste buds but in such a raw way. It stung just right.
It burned so delightfully but so unpleasant at the same time.
How can I stop when the taste is so sugary sweet?
I can't stand the sting anymore.
But i can't bare the thought of not having that sweet taste in my life.
The same sweet taste that hurts.
Focus on the sweet taste, not how it hurts.
Focus on the aromatic scent until it's all you can smell.
Focus on the burn against your tongue and only the burn because it does, it does hurt.
The taste is no longer sweet.
It's not sugary nor pleasant.
It's bitter against my tastebuds.
Hurt is all I can taste.
But i am no longer thirsty for the yellow bittersweet nectar
I crave something new.
