Sweet Thang

I hate you now, you did me wrong I did you till the cows came home, My friend called and said, ‘’she was through with you’’, And I was jealous because, "I was weak, and didn't Have the wherewithal to walk away.! Now my best friend is leaving me with you. Leaving me to crave you all alone. I should have been gone... You took away some of my ‘’top of the list folks’’- With your too sweet facade, and I still held on. Why did I stay? It was your sweet Soothing ways, comforting me, Calling me from out of my sleep to rendezvous with you. I have lost my taste for you. I am trying to get away from you. Large portions, ‘’too much sugar for a dime’’. Killing myself for the desire of you, Addicted to the thrills you bring. Sweet thing, I want to hate you. Sugar, I am trying to hate you it’s simple I heard that once I let you into my system, you’ll start to cohort with the enemy and promote cancer inside of my temple. Sugar, I am done with you; unlike my friends; I am not willing to die for your, sugary appeal. Word is you cheat, you like to sneak around inside, Of once healthy snacks, and cause heart attacks, Causing joint inflammation and arthritis pain. Crippling me as you hide in eatable staples, Appearing as safe. I will spit you out at the table! I hate you now sweetie- trick no good ... Don't care that you’re refined: Never again “knowingly “will I swallow you: Only for you to consume me as a killer treat. Sugar" I am dumping you for honey, And ‘’ my honey can go in raw’’. ‘’ my honey’’ will keep my company And I won’t even miss you at all.! Sweet Thang…
