Wedding Cake

We eat the top of your wedding cake,

Stale sugar pieces cracking our teeth,

Promising each mouthful

To be the last,

Buttercream drooling from

Sticky fingers,

Pregnant with cream,

Pink pearls to be kissed.

Plump lips wait,

Shivering from loneliness.

We listen to the screaming downstairs

The plastic bride and groom

Sucked clean of sweetness.
