Naivete

My mom called it puppy love

Puppies shower you in kisses

Feel their soft tongue on your cheeks, on your smile

Puppies turn on you quick

 

(Kisses to biting

My lip is bleeding

My heart is bleeding)

 

My mom called it puppy love

I think she meant innocent, 

and meant to belittle my feelings 

(which she seldom does)

 

When I called it puppy love, I meant 

it’s gone before you’re ready to say goodbye

Kisses turn to biting,

and it’s deceiving
