Your sorrow is my palette
And I am painting a picture
Large enough to devour you.
.
Maybe in another life I was
Strong enough to resist you
And those pretty little tears.
.
Or maybe I'm just as hungry
There in that dreamland as I am
Here, standing in front of you.
.
But I'm of the mind that it was
A hopeless dream from the start
Because your tears are beautiful.
.
They are sweet on my lips, sweet
Running over your lashes, lips.
And they are delicious in my mouth.
.
Nectar, ambrosia, whatever fits,
They are my sustenance, darling.
And I'm afraid I'll never quit them.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.
