Artificial idolatry

In your kiss I found everything and nothing.
Perhaps the texture of my tastebuds have differed,
Jilted,
coarse and jagged under the bitter serration of your rose hued hypocrisy,
yet I heed no warnings of your tragicomic, burnt-honey lips.
I remain subdued— suspended in the sombre sequence of immutable limbo as your acidic affections rot the remnants of my concave heart.
You are but a rabid pesticide,
the epitome of emotional erosion that has abandoned my throat sour with the abraded scrape of thorns and weeds, adduced within my shallow breath.
I now realise that you are but a hollow, graveyard of a girl, impaired organs atrophied within a withered, skeletal anatomy, my lavender lips rendering impotent to allow love to bloom.

For after all, is it not lavender that you are allergic to?
