a licorice smile,
prepared and sweetened to provide
simply the best.
and a marzipan ribbon
to tie down wild mahogany curls,
ensure that she's dressed.
and a syrupy voice
to beckon even the strongest
of sour patch kids galore.
and a pair of chocolate eyes,
melted puddles of desire spilled.
people begging for more.
yet those soft marshmallow lips
harden to stone with every
interested buyer.
claims her sweetened person
is simply a dusty, sickening treat;
dismisses the liars.
for she knows the artificial flavouring
running swiftly through her
milkshake bloodstream.
and knows the unhealthy chemicals
would ever so simply
drag them deep in a dream.
for what is a life full of sweets
without ever the taste of the bitter
nor the sour?
a trip to long lasting fantasies and
lost concept of reality slowly
ever by the hour.
drown yourself in coats of sugar
and pray you're safe from harm for
another glorious day about.
hope your withdrawal symptoms
don't kick in too fast,
lest, of course, blackout...
