Eye Candy

Eye Candy Eye candy, visual sweets Fed to us by what appeals to our Lustful taste Desires that we chase And assets that we embrace See the flesh puts its hand Into the world’s candy basket And tries to claim what’s ours Whether it takes days weeks or hours And sooner or later We get to things sour And find a familiar face And on our path to treats We attempt to trace The places we’ve been And bras that we’ve unlaced But nevertheless we never find That one fulfilling treat And no matter how many times Someone else’s sheets become Our home for the night We don’t feel love We don’t feel trust What has become of us

"Eye candy, visual sweets" I like the metaphorical expressions that you have used throughout this poem. Nice imagery.
