You are a stone fruit. Dancing in the plastic tree of my youth. I wanted to eat the delicious plastic cherries
I am the stone fruit, the stone pained and deserted
The fruit split from the seed
Burst from the open, raw sun
Leaking it's glands, so blistering and hot
Onto my stone
Groveling like a crying child under a weeping willow
You became my stone fruit
You smashed the fruit into pulpy masses that leaked too little water
You dappled in the society of sin
Without actually diving in to touch the stone inside
You judged yet you painted us like a canvas
A pretty canvas you can amuse yourself
Lies like how I told myself you really cared
Stone fruit, humans are stone fruit
Sucked bittersweet, angry and alone
Alone even with the others hanging next to them
Crying tears of life & love unlived
