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
