Ketchup Stains You

The night you tried I was trying to enjoy a cheeseburger I called your bluff blindly I was bored by you You decided to prove me wrong I heard the distinct click the noisy pop my burger dropped I had ringing in my ears It landed on the plate bloody with ketchup ketchup splatters everywhere Burgers remind me of you I don't dare eat them They make me sick.

This is a little dynamo, Liberty. It is succinct and emotive. Everyday life writes like this one are what makes great poets! Gwendolen
