We peeled apart the foam-finger flesh,
Picked apart the fragile treasure inside,
Sucked the sunshine out of the pale
yellow rinds,
And watched as rubies dripped down each other's lips,
The hang nails on my fingers stung,
A bitterness remained on my lips long
after the fruit had gone

"We have to let go of being petty and bitter, because they can be going through as much pain as you."

I agree, this is absolutely fantastic. Good work!

The Papacy is not other than the Ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof.

Literally one of the first poems on this site that I enjoyed.
