Pill

A kiss from a cherry tree
Is a toothache too much
And when love eventually leaves us
We’ll be painted with bruises and deep cuts
Just take this pill
And the pain resets
The gesture of your gift
Is wrapped with endless paper cuts
And so we learn to avoid the edges
Of the shards from your broken heart
Take this pill
But I still regret
Your bones and nails they break and chip
And crack and burn and turn to ashes
Our lungs they learn to breathe it in, but now it’s seeping
It’s all temporary
Take this pill
It’s blue and red
A kiss from a cherry tree
Is a toothache too much
And when love eventually leaves me
I’ll be painted with bruises and deep cuts
Just take this pill
And the pain resets
