A smiling orange and a bruised one

A bowl of Fruit sits 
A smiling orange and a bruised one 

Both yearn to be picked  
Both yearn to be loved 

A hand reaches for the fruits 
The smiling orange wins  

Nails puncture the skin of the fruit 
Its sour juice drips like rain  
its smile shines  

The bruised orange now sits alone 
Next time it will be picked, right?
