Sugar

This sugar I ingested has given me cavities
Depravity is what bore this hole.
You cling to this sweetness
thinking it defeats weakness
when really, it weakens your soul.

You gave me this sugar and i took it gladly
But sadly I had to let you go.
For if i had kept you,
your ways would've spread to
my core and you'd be my foe.

So, I've left you my friend
except, I pretend that you don't matter to me anymore.
I wish you were here--
I'd call you my dear
and it'd be as it was before.

Right now it sounds tempting, this sugar you offer
I'll suffer if i take just one.
I know it will rot me
and sin will have caught me,
I'll drift further from the Son.

You're drifting further and further away
and you've saved me a succulent sweet,
but I know it is poison
I've known for awhile
I choose now not to accept defeat.

I don't mean to shame you,
I cant really blame you for sucking this sugar cube.
It's pleasant on the tongue,
At first, all is fun
until, the cube melts on your tongue
until, the bitter taste has come
and, you're left with dung on your lips,
and you vomit and you spit
I exaggerate now because i have seen it,
and I wish not to watch this time
its time I focus on me,
instead of changing unchangeable things.

so goodbye my sweet,
farewell my dear,
your sugar is no longer welcome here.
