the sweetest taste
turns sour on
your tongue,

and all of the
wonderful words
you want to say
curdle behind
your teeth.

but, unwilling to go
and take yourself
to the store
for a fresh carton
(so unfamiliar,
and what if they are out?
and what if that one expires
too?) you still
put the carton
back in the fridge,

steadfast and thirsty.

because the hope
is enough to keep
you reaching into
those chilly depths
again
and
again.
What do you think this one is about?

Comments, critiques, favorites, and etc are always very appreciated.

(Hopefully, in the future, I'll look back on this one and realize how wrong I was.)
