The Tasting of Hearts

Idk what spawned this poem but I really like it. =)

Have you ever tasted heart ache?

I remember the cold feeling of the iron touching my tongue

Caressing my dead skin cells

That lived and breathed only for his loving embrace

An embrace of something rotten that collected in your eyes

And shoveled them out to the sun

Or was light the taste of heart break

Moonlight or some off flavor of LED

Energy saving

Caressing

Enchanting 

Lights that curdle at the sight of

Gamma radiation

That pours radioactive

From the mouths of the tainted

Heart broken

Was it the colossal strength of the sun

As its light takes you in dances with you

Then leaves you aching and burning with 

Sun scorched flaming red skin

That will sustain for months at a time.

Maybe it's poisonous 

The way a lovers embrace

Causes your heart to jolt out of your chest cavity

All the microfibers of your very existence beckoning for one 

While light pours into your pupils

Drenching them in a sandpaper dry spell

That will cause them to break off 

Brittle

And glide into the open mouths of those

Heart broken misguided lovers

Or antiseptic haters

That have there mouths washed clean

Rubbed raw from the scum

That soap collected around there rotting hearts

I will not be 

Soap scum on your mirrors

Clouding the vision of some off beat lovelorn

Sick puppy dog

That cannot even see the heart break

Looming at his doorstep like death

I am not a fire escape

Used like some sponge

Rubbing your very existence clean of scum

Don't tell me you love me.

Instead look into my eyes

Lick My eyelids

Protrude your tongue down my throat

Like some alien invader welcomed

By some misguided

Naive

Humans who believe they are friendly

When in reality

I'll be the one to have left the sick puppy named

Hart break

On your doorstep

So remember 

Yes you with the alien for a tongue

What does heart break taste like?
