Apple Pie, Liam Garrett
She is everything you want her to be
Tied up in a neat, tidy bow
She is put in the oven at 350°
She will come out in a sweet candied apple pie
Sugar glaze
Shimmer on her skin
Cuts and bruises covered in toffee
Powder sugar
Dashed with her kiss
A kiss filled with tart apple cider
She is a beautiful girl, but she is bitter and sour on the inside
A sweet girl
One we twist and bake
When she sees herself
All shiny and fake
Her fingers will tremble
While her arms are devoured
She is no longer that sweet Apple Pie
She won’t even be a Chocolate Macadamia Nut
She is no longer Banana Cream, nor will she be kissed by Huckleberry or Cherry.
She is now too tart and sour to be Key Lime or Lemon.
She is twisted and turned
Cut her open, and she spills
She no longer tastes like toffee
Nor that sweet apple
However, she is still and motionless
I dare you to take another bite.
