If sugar were a human being…
Refined by animal bones
like you have been
and scraped and scratched
til it had a pearly shine
And told me stories
that kool-aid stained my mind
And held me close with swirling words
Candy cane kisses
Not from this world
that taste like nectarine
and fatten me slowly
until honey I bled
transforming into a syrupy
goo between my lips
making jelly baby juice
pressed against my hips
Nougat stuck on my tooth
forcing my legs apart
shooting lemon head daggers
straight into my heart
With glazed icing swagger
Killing me softly
like valentine sweeties
Betraying my diet
Sick with diabetes
Serendipitysells over priced icecream
but in actuality
it brought him to me…
Will his delectable taste endure?
If sugar were a man
I’d be his junkie for sure….
