I found that I dislike sweet things
To save my tolerance for you
And your self obsessed syrup of supremacy
A love letter in milk
Raspberries
Ice and sugar
A sweetness unmatched
A hint of narcissism
In watching you try to taste
the sweetness that you are
An impossible possibility
Oh holy matrimony
A constant pursuit of Fool's Gold
Day in and day out
Textbook tenacity
Personified
But you drink,
And drink,
And drink
Try,
And try,
And try
With two milkshakes a day

I found that I dislike sweet things
To save my tolerance for you
And your self obsessed syrup of supremacy
A love letter in milk
Raspberries
Ice and sugar
A sweetness unmatched
A hint of narcissism
In watching you try to taste
the sweetness that you are
An impossible possibility
Oh holy matrimony
A constant pursuit of Fool's Gold
Day in and day out
Textbook tenacity
Personified
But you drink,
And drink,
And drink
Try,
And try,
And try
With two milkshakes a day
You are the sum of all your parts, not the ingredients. I hope you feel the love you deserve.
