Cutting Lemons

Photo by Allan Carvalho

The lemons I cut on my kitchen counter

Still taste sweeter than your biting lips.

The money I spent on chasing your love,

I made it all back in generous tips.

I do not want to hear that you’re sorry.

You can save your reasons and your voice.

The times will catch up with thunderous traitors

And screams will overcome the noise.

-Jackie
