Love Candy

All the sweetness we once had

are now expired pieces of candy 

I still put it in my mouth and savour it 

I still feel the sweetness in my blood

giving me energy and happiness

that is short lived 

I want to smash it into pieces

so that I can stop giving myself false hope 

and chase after a sun hung high above the skies

when I am on the ground

Maybe I want to eat it all at once

so that I can feel that perhaps it was real once

and not all in my imagination 

Such a magical candy

capable of love and destruction in me
