Sweet Taste

Sweet Taste

A Poem by thumbelina
"

Rejection is difficult and love is a hard emotion.

"
"I'm obsessed,
It's a mess,
My mind is here nor there
No less,
I'm trying my best"
She confessed.

"I know,
It shows
In the pale Moons glow,
But my love
Doesn't flow
For you"
Whispered his echo.

"Then why,
Didn't you shy
From my
Pleading eyes?
Despite the lie
This fool, still
Wants to fly"
Her voice trembled

His response:
"A sweet taste
Often, causes...
Irrational haste.
You're the waste,
Merely a pretty face.
And, what good
Ever could
Come from that?"
