Description do you remember what it was like, being honey - holy?

                          god's favorite angel,

cherry mouth still with the
                               pit

           and raspberry juice stained fingers.
                                   
                                                        mango juice stained
                                     chin,

still sticky. still wet. red palms peel back the flesh
another bite another bite a
                                       nother
          bite
             dipped in saccharinity

honey - holy mango mouth, you suck sugar for 25 cents
still sticky. still wet.
                                        when is enough enough

                                                          is enough enough ?

now you are just saccharine - sweet teeth falling from your mouth
like black licorice,

                      r       o         t            t      i             n     g      
                                                                  from the outside in

                                     saying

i started off as somethin' beautiful, darlin', and look at me now
look at me now

This is lovely -- beautifully written. Sometimes intricate formatting distracts me; here, it works really well and adds to the piece. Really well done!

thank you so much; as always, your comments are so lovely to see.
formatting it was something i was nervous about! because the same happens to me.
but i had it in a standard layout, and for some reason i really wasn't feeling it?
so i tried to do a minimal but !!! impactful, hopefully, sort of break-up of lines and words.

thank you. i'm so glad it adds to the piece. <3
