Artificial Overdose

You've spun a cotton candy dream and melted my marshmallow heart. The pain you caused became ice cream a brain freeze that would not depart. Your tears like sugar on gumdrops and and arms like hooks on candy canes! Your hold on me; it never stops through artificial sweetner rains! Words as sharp as peanut brittle still follow each warm, chocolate kiss. I'm stuck like taffy but feel little while you indulge in sweet, sweet bliss! Oh, I've become quite nausiated and quite sugar sick! An overdose of you belated and an after taste that's just so...Ick! I'm sick and dizzy on this spinning, saccharin carousel... I wonder if I'd really miss the addiction that you sell? My tears have made my eyes unglued and I can see the sticky mess! The honeyed web that you exude isn't strong enough to hold I guess! My heart of marshmallow has fled and is replaced with sour sweet-tarts! Your artificial spell is dead! I've no care for rock candy hearts! Your xylose spells can not affect the granulated hearts you spurn! Go find another to reject... I'm not too sugar drunk to learn!
