old_fruit
unhinged place our withered halves
on the juicer
and squeeze
squeeze
squeeze
until they get out all
that's left of you
me
city life can make you old fruit
the only good part left
the juice distilled


and we drank the juice of each other
and were happy
bitter like grapefuit
but so much sweeter than coffee
i miss the way you used to squeeze the life out of me
to drink up every last drop
where just the sight of me could make you smile
yes, i miss being loved like that


every last drop
bitter
