Your sugary sweetness
calls to me.
Beckons me.

I can’t stop myself.

A vile confection–
candy crack.

I reach for another piece,
let you melt in my mouth
until you are liquid.

Molten sugar hides between my teeth,
under my tongue.
It clings to the roof of my mouth.
And lingers long after.

I don’t even like you.

But like an addict,
I always come back for more.
