i have tasted pain

ending the meal of the day with bitter painful dish

dipping my hand into sea of lachrymal

wrinkled & pickled just like they are after washing dishes 

touching the tip of my tongue with sorrow dip hands

with effervescence bouncing on my tongue

taste buds recognize the pain

pain is tongue's ex who it couldn't get over   

slowly gulping down my throat

it always numb

didn't pour a word

but now

bitterness quenching the thirst

i have tasted the stars and the rainbow

yet scarlet pain is glued on the tongue

can't get rid of it
