disappointment tastes like salt

not the slight sprinkle you put on your peas
but the cascade that pours when someone before you
secretly loosened the cap
say you were blind, and didn't know
there was a mountain of salt
where your peas used to be
you take your spoon, and shovel a large
mound into your mouth
your cheeks shrink, your throat tightens
and you fight the overwhelming urge to scream
at the sick, sour sensation

disappointment

I love the analogy! Disappointment is entirely too bitter for my tastes...I much prefer the sweet (and very rare, for me) taste of happiness and victory.

very expressive

Words flow heavily,
A carbon copy of my heart,
As well as my soul.
