How ridiculous is it that even sugar substitutes scream your name? Understandable with the veins of a diabetic, though. You're one bad habit too sweet to shake, and you put me in shock with that rare, flashing smile. I ripped open a packet and studied those white crystals as I'd once studied you. I failed to consider your authenticity before pouring. Freely you fell, and loosely, you dissolved. I stirred you in, and wanted more. Suddenly sour, my drink was unbearable. You ripped my heart in two in the same way I tore that paper. This divided heart of mine is now a pool swimming with your artificial ingredients. But honestly, how concious is anyone measuring your flavor? My god, life's so bland without you.
