Remember by Olivia Woods

Remember

Your apples were as savory as sunlight

I can’t remember the last time they seemed so sweet

The last time they were as red as roses

The last time they smelt so great

I fear there is nothing left here anymore

I can't remember how long I've been here

Or when the maggots came

I can’t remember when the taste had changed

From sweet to sour

When the rose color began to rot

When these sores appeared

I fear there is nothing left of me here

Only the husk of my body

The salt from my tears

And the maggots I've eaten

Trying to remember the taste
