I like this a lot. (And the title) Especially the last bit,

"There was a secret on my tongue

And I kept it safe and sound

She didn’t deserve the natural way

Because that one’s reserved for liars

And little girls who turn into whores

When little boys grab at innocence

And suddenly I think to myself

Maybe swollen isn’t beautiful

Anymore"

This was also very insightful and grabbing! Excellent stanza

"There was a secret on my tongue

And I kept it safe and sound

She didn’t deserve the natural way

Because that one’s reserved for liars

And little girls who turn into whores

When little boys grab at innocence"

So so sad and true. Really good, job.

I always wondered... don't guys get annoyed a little when you kiss them with lip gloss on? But anyways, I liked this poem (in fact, I really do love all of your poems!)

I liked how he changed his mind by the end of the poem.

Do you ever get that sudden warm feeling after seeing a movie, or hearing a song, or reading a quote? Like that feeling that it really means something more, I like to call it a glimpse into infinity. Well, I just got that with this poem. It is masterfully made and now my favourite thing I've read by you, perhaps one of my favourite pieces on this site. Especially the end! Amazing work!

P.S. how do you write so often? I have been able to write maybe a poem a day at work when I have nothing to do, but I never get enough inspiration for two.
