candied words

"i never meant to lead you on..."

molten chocolate words oozed from his lips

matching the tears from those chocolate eyes.

 

then why did your mouth call to me?

why did you carry my leash all these months?

i ate up those candied words,

and i soothed those guilty eyes.

 

now i am lost.

without being led, i have drifted

from everyone.

i want to belong,

but not be tied.
