Intentions

What do you mean to me? A simple banana on a background of pink. A bright smile whose features hide a shadow, I think. The nutrition you give helps support life, but not having you causes cramps and strife. Yet alas there is more to you than you reveal. Something hidden inside that banana peal. Complex notes and sugars so sweet. Born from a seed hidden under our feet. What dark secrets do your bruises hold? What tender memories can be told? Each mistreatment has left a dark spot. Some on purpose and some of them not. But either way the hurt is still there. After all a banana can never be a pear.
