I ate the lemon

I ate the lemon

I ate the lemon
of your eye

Stole the glimmering zest;

I'll take the blame,
for my tart craving

my sour oblivion
that sliced you-

with this steel knife of mine,

I took the seed
of yellow

from the pulpy flesh
'tween my teeth

and planted it-
now rooted

in my core-

I'm a yellow lemon thief~
