"sweet like tea on a coffee day"


Used
Blood seeps from the sores of his feet
As he runs faster into the distance.
His hand clutches a crystal chalice,
Purer than any substance
Because it was virgin to man’s lips
And yet he sips
With a satisfying grin.

She wakes thirsty
Unable to find the chalice
Realizes she’s alone
And before surfacing, malice
Chastises her sin.
“But…I thought…you loved me.”

Many teens experience this after their first lost love.
