Tangerine Love

Sweet Tangerine

Easily peeled
I wonder now

Is my heart so susceptible?
Tangerine divides into multiple parts
Each pieces pointing
different direction at the same time

the heart reacts to more than one faces

each one sweet as the next one
one by one they are eaten
the one that’s remaining
is it true love?

Too light to be the love
Too heavy to be a crush
Caught in between
My tangerine love

The author's comments:
I was trying to express the various crushes we have in our lives. I don't know if its just me but sometimes you like more than one person at the same time. Because I never experience what love is I can't quite figure this out. The tangerine made of many pieces indicating that my heart lean towards several people. I also used tangerine to show that it is easily peeled which shows that it is easy to make a impression on a teenage girl. this poem is written to express my confusion when indentifying my feelings. I'm positve that other people have been there before.
