SUGAR
I have never been objectified so sweetly,
As to be crafted like a pin-up doll,
Mounted on your navy wall;
Headless, where you can always keep me.
I have never been loved so deeply,
As to be craved like something sweet and deadly,
Crazed for words said soft and gently;
Ravenous, you deplete me -
Of something I never knew I had
Until you'd already taken it.
I have never been objectified so sweetly,
As to become a prized posession,
As to become a hopeless victim;
So much sugar makes the heart uneasy.
