A Lover's Revenge

Mag 56 - inspiration picture provided by http://magpietales.blogspot.com/

Your skin is translucent like a dame so fair

I peel you to reveal your inner sweet  layer

Then I chop your heart into a million pieces

As your elegantly sweet fragrance releases

I wrap you with a foil hug, roasting you in thyme

I am your cruelest lover, but still you think I am fine

You come bursting out of your translucent skin

Revealing your wonderous flavour within

You are my secret lover, I toast you, salute you

We celebrate with a goblet o' wine or two

I savour your flavour, but you do me no favour

Because all secret relationships come with a waiver

You are my cruelest lover....for the very next day

People won't speak to me, my breath has betrayed

I scrub my teeth, brush them and floss some more

But there you remain like a stubborn cold sore

So is this what you call your sweet revenge?

It doesn't matter.....I would do it again!

Next time I will share you with all of my friends

That way we ALL have bad breath in the end.
