You laugh as if you know something I don't
Your smile is contagious, like a pest
It slides down my throat like honey
Infects my lungs like an uninvited guest

The sweetest virus in the air
Sweeter than the lies you told me
Chocolate, honey, sugar
I want something that will never be

You've given me false hope
Then destroyed it with your voice
Now it's your words that repair me
I can wish, but I have no choice

You tell me you're not hungry
Then like sweets, you devour me
You shape me, mold me, every day
Every day you overpower me

You own me like a sickness
I can't see anything but pink hue
I'm bedbound, you make me ill
But one day, I will own you too
