Candy-Coated Sediment

I thought I was complex... Multifaceted, divinely complicated But I was very, very mistaken You read me like I was playing cards with my hand tattooed on my cheeks I fell for your charm, your depth... your candy-coated sediment Fortunately you fell a bit short of your goal of destroying me Luckily you hated yourself more than you hated me I drove by your place today Definitely tempted to kick that polished new headstone... However I have on a great new pair of shoes and refuse to get them soiled by your candy-coated sediment *For Skat's Pretty Talker contest July 10, 2016
