Sweet & Saline (Poetry)

This is a collection of random, sweet & saline poems I wrote since day one of becoming obsessed into poetry. This is mostly about struggles, life, heartbreak, and, of course, love.

_______

Her childhood years
She never tasted sweet
Never been given a candy
Unlike how children were
She grew up,
Knowing only the taste of
Saline in her tongue

And then this only man
Gave her a cube of sugar
Like a child, she was excited
And hurriedly swallowed it

But still, it doesn't taste
Anything sweet at all.
