Your words melt in my mouth I savor them in Drawing the flavor ******* on them And they dissolve Leaving me craving more You had me hooked On your saccharine Your very own heroine Marketed specifically for Idealists like me Optimistic Unaware I turned my head away and refused to see Refused to taste the underlying sour The syrupy sickness surging through your veins Travelled up to your brain Tainting your thoughts Your words Your actions And you cast off your innocence Like a snake simply sheds their skin Revealing the rotten core Within you Beneath layers Walls you built around this tumor Carefully guarded Drowned in a lake of fake maple Syrup you find in grocery stores With empty promises And wishy washy half truths I didn’t realize your poison Until it was too late

Saccharine
Your words melt in my mouth I savor them in Drawing the flavor ******* on them And they dissolve Leaving me craving more You had me hooked On your saccharine Your very own heroine Marketed specifically for Idealists like me Optimistic Unaware I turned my head away and refused to see Refused to taste the underlying sour The syrupy sickness surging through your veins Travelled up to your brain Tainting your thoughts Your words Your actions And you cast off your innocence Like a snake simply sheds their skin Revealing the rotten core Within you Beneath layers Walls you built around this tumor Carefully guarded Drowned in a lake of fake maple Syrup you find in grocery stores With empty promises And wishy washy half truths I didn’t realize your poison Until it was too late
