The Confectionery of a Lover

 

                                                 it was a sugar rush

                                my candyfloss heart; it was on a sugar rush 

                                the sickly sweet smell entranced me so

                                             like a fly is drawn to honey 

                                                     he kept me close

                                        told me pretty lies, sweet nothings

                                   they tasted like pure sugar on my tongue

                                  his venomous words dripped of  honey

                                                straight from the comb

                                    he spun tall tales with the elegance of

                                        a fairy-floss machine at the fair

                                    fabricated love, spun to perfection 

                             how addictive this intoxicating game became 

                                          and i am still amazed by how 

                                    quickly the candyfloss melted away

                                   how the pink bubblegum turned gray

                                         lost its flavor, bitter in my mouth

                                                 i hate this aftertaste

                                       you were addictive and poisonous yet

                                         i saw no warnings from the FDA 

                                     no red flags, no skull & crossbones

                                            how did i not see this coming?

                                 why did no one warn me till it was too late?

                                                      society told me 

                        to keep my distance from bottles and stay off of pills

                                           that puffs of smoke could kill

                                               and i listened, i obeyed

                                  but darling, no one warned me about you

                 no one warned me about what this damned sugar rush could do
