It Lingers

You got attached. Like an orchid
Looped around a tepid swamp long, except –
We might both be, flesh-like
And alluring, hosts to our own
Parasitic proclivities.

You wanted more. A taste of pineapple
Now lingers, stuck to the mouths
That shared vast slipping vengeances.

You said hello yesterday;
But not to me, not to me.
