you picked me instead of the others

i promise i'm sweeter

peel away my facade and split me open

dig your fingers into me

break me, juice me, devour me, make me part of you

peel away the parts you hate and perfect me

i want to be just the way you like

clean and ripe and ready and easy

there's a seam there, but it's not ready to break

don't touch that one, please

i came pre-split, just for your pleasure

just break me where it feels good

please tell me i taste good

i’m ready i’m full of sweetness

i'm bearing my glistening flesh for you to eat

when you're done with me don't reach for another

there's no other like me

i promise, i promise

i'll cling to your tongue, sickly sweet

like a cloying, sticky memory

but you'll just throw the rest of me away

i’m only worth my inside parts

did i make those minutes worth it?

tell me i was perfect

just what you wanted

and even if i wasn’t

you’ll think of me sometimes

that sticky sweetness will return

but you’ll never find another like me
