You Were Poison
I'll never be in love again.
you taught me how to love myself
how to become a better person
and mostly you taught me that
living is better than dying
you were poison
but i didn't realise 'til you left
you hurt me every day and caused me pain
but i was oblivious as you taught me
that you can't have love without a little pain
you taught me that love is just filled
with hatred and pain
that's when i realised
i don't want to be in love again
love and pain will be forever joined.
You cannot have one without the other, it’s not possible.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
