★☾★

i wish my heart would know,

to not dip in such dangerous waters.

the taste of curiosity burned my mouth,

with a tart so bitter,

that i somehow feel the taste of purple,

fading from my tongue.

Please don't wither,

Hear my plea.

It truly was unexpected,

Even from me.

Yet the lilac poloroids,

continue to fade,

as i think of ebony,

and how i could wade,

to a different river,

to a different water...

one so foreign,

yet one so sweet. 

But would indulging in new rivers,

Lead me to defeat?
