Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
We blended in true and well.
I provided the nuttiness,
The sweet, electric taste of madness,
Sprinkled with excitement and delight.
You drowned me in your sugar,
In your overwhelming sweetness that seemed
To conquer many a heart a time.
We were so different that we became
Truly one and the same.
I taught you to act a little
Crazy.
Be a little
Insane?
WHY TALK ALL PROPER
WHEN THE RIGHT TO TALK BELONGS
TO YOU?
And you mellowed me down,
Fed me a spoonful of artificial sugar that left
Me shivering past twilight.
Made my teeth
Sparkle?
And I learned that laughing
Wasn't really as horrible as
People made it to be.
But as soon as we begun
And as soon as our hearts mingled,
We only did just realize.
The bread had been moldy to begin with.
