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.
