A piece of pie.

Sadie . 2005 (California)

Free verse
A piece of pie.

You made me a pie.
You said it was sweet.
I saw it was my favorite and couldn’t wait to eat. You sprinkled sugar on top and cut me a piece.
As I ate greedily a grin grew on your face, just then I tasted, a very strange taste, salty and bitter, not one bit of sugar you laughed as I cried, the salt burned my wounds, what did I expect, I know it’d be salt but still hoped for sugar, it’s been salt for 16 years who was I fooling.

About this poem
