writen by Pluto Diamond. Pluto (she/her) is a 20 year old Mechanical Engineering student (currently taking a gap year). She has been writing poetry for a little over a year now and has been using it as a medium to put her very healthy orange obsession (amongst other things) into words.
I do not wear my heart on my sleeve.
Rather, I present it with both hands in the form of an orange.
A clementine to be exact.
One half for you, one for me.
But as I watch you devour your portion, I am filled with regret.
Suddenly, I wish I had given you mine.
For every sweet section is but another piece of me,
I want you to have them all.
