I gave myself to you,
surrendered to desire.
What I thought was toasty warm
turned out to be a fire.
You built me up
with words of how
lovely I could be.
All I had to do was
promise to never leave.
You ripped apart my confidence,
stripped me to the bare.
Pulled at my fringing seams
until nothing was left there.
You fed me lies of love,
kissed me with your
sugar coated lips.
You made me unhealthy,
your sugar made me sick.
By the time I tasted love,
you had fled away.
I should have known
you would never last.
Sugar has a habit
of making things
decay.
