For Sometimes Love Is Not Enough
Hey sugar I’m defriending you
The time has come to say adeiu
A long time pal who undermines
the plans I make to change my life.
Sweetly in my life each day
your crystal heart has caused decay.
Lurking unexpectedly
Any chance to ambush me
You’re hidden there in every bite,
Satisfying, smug delight.
Which I regret everytime
I can’t stop, once I taste:
My heart beats
Eyes dilate
I’ve fallen for your sweetened charm.
But sometimes love is not enough
Your honied calI I must rebuff.
Addicted!
I try so hard to give you up
All my life you’ve been there
Pretend to give, but you don’t care
For the chaos left behind:
Rotten teeth and heart disease
Diabetes, swollen knees
Expanding waist,
Bloated face
Your reputation in disgrace.
You have to go!
Your time is up!
A wholesome friend is what I want.
Take your saccharine caress elsewhere.
Now l stand my ground, I’m being tough
For sometimes love is not enough.
