dinner for 2

I read my book upside down
You call me silly and we laugh it off
But when the time comes, you leave me in my closet alone
Set the final nail on my dusty coffin

I like my eggs sunny side up
So we have them scrambled instead
When i throw up, you flush my reasoning,
rinse me with your kisses-
"You're making a big deal out of nothing"

I ignore my well wishers doubts
You're my baby and I'm yours
Keep telling myself that as you watch me die
A woman's instincts never lie

I make your favourite peach pudding
Don't mind the rashes, oh you didn't?
Take me to my favourite store just to roar- baby, are you my friend or foe ?
'He holds me tight, then he lets me go'

I eat your lies for lunch and poison for dinner
"I love you baby" in the moment of suspicion
When my mind's rotten and eyes hollow, you're still the angel I'll follow
Seal my body- no need for postmortem

You have to tell me the story of this poem!! Please!
"A woman's instincts never lie" I KNOW RIGHT??
I really adore your poems, can't choose a favorite anymore! Sister🥹

God what is the last stanza??
"I eat your lies for lunch and poison for dinner" Girl, are you okay?

You are so good, this storytelling is killing me. Bury me.
Seal my body- no need for postmortem

Your poetry a bit reminds me of the Beat poet Denise Levertov.

I really like the metaphor in this...very clever...favorite line is the " flush my reasoning" line.
