Snake: a poem
Illustration by Marlenne Jasso we were made for each other
like perfectly carved puzzle pieces, fitting into one another
our petals caressed and danced with each other for we resemble roses
you were my world
the only thing worth living for
the only thing i wanted to witness grow
but
that was until
i saw you
with her
she was curled around your broad body like a snake
she kissed your pale cheeks as tears cascaded down mine
you didn't even lock the door
left it open
