Rushes of emotion\u00a0\u00a0
Consume me\u00a0\u00a0
Like the swarming\u00a0\u00a0
Of ants\u00a0\u00a0
On a rotting apple\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am the apple\u00a0
Once surrounded\u00a0
By a shining sheen\u00a0\u00a0
Then broken into\u00a0\u00a0
Torn apart\u00a0\u00a0
To reveal\u00a0\u00a0
The inside\u00a0\u00a0
Cold and wet\u00a0\u00a0
White nonetheless\u00a0
Gleaming\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within seconds\u00a0
The white becomes browned\u00a0\u00a0
The glimmer\u00a0\u00a0
Only a shimmer\u00a0\u00a0
Of the past\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tiny chunks\u00a0\u00a0
Are taken out\u00a0\u00a0
Piece by piece\u00a0\u00a0
Lying on the concrete\u00a0\u00a0
Once on a pedestal\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing but\u00a0\u00a0
A thin layer\u00a0\u00a0
Containing all the rot\u00a0\u00a0
That lays inside\u00a0\u00a0
Once shown to the air\u00a0\u00a0
The truth spreads\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take me\u00a0\u00a0
Tear apart my soul\u00a0
Hold parts of me\u00a0\u00a0
Within your hands\u00a0
Tell me I am beautiful\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
