When the sweet turns sour

by Jazmine Jackson   Nov 15, 2006


My momma told me when I was young
"Dont eat too much of that chocolate"
She said it only tastes good when its only a bite

But I was hard headed,
So I bought the whole and ate every peice
until the sweet turned sour in my mouth

Not sour like candy,
But sour like rotten milk.
Lumpy.

And I hurled because I was sick to my stomach,
Sick to my heart

And I had to wrap it back up,
and throw it away,
Even when it still looked good.
