To Pepper, love, the Addict
To pepper,
you had to be so spicy.
so
tasty
Small doses turned
into numbness
My sister
ate so much
salt in
her meals that
she forgot what salt tasted like
and so needed
more
and more
you were
like that
To pepper,
I have invented a
language
made entirely of
profanity
for you
It would seem
english adjectives
are not
enough
To pepper,
I have used those
words on
myself
because
of
you
To pepper,
it seems
english adjectives
are
too
much
To pepper,
because I once chose you
my only choice now is
whether
it’s my mouth
or my
stomach
burned
To pepper,
the consumer
is
consumed
To pepper
congratulations
your fragrance stinks up
all my
meals
To pepper
I hate the way
you’re so
sharp and
nauseating
I always hated
pepper
except
when
it
smelled like
You
To pepper,
I’m only just
learning that
you are not
what
you
eat
To pepper,
I will always hate you
but let me wish
you one final
condolence because
now that no longer means
I hate me too
and that means you
lost
To pepper
we both know
I’m not the one
who won
