Pink Sprinkled Apples
Pink as the sunset high above
indigo and rose sprinkles on caramel;
Now go on take a bite;
Killing with slow acting poison
sounds like the stuff of fairytales;
Placated with sugar like arsenic
rolled into the sweetness of your skin;
Ingested with every bite , a silent mark
nothing destroy dreams of happily ever after;
Kidnapped but always were willing,
led by the promise of something more;
Eating those pink sprinkled apples
dangerous dreams to the heart speak,
appetite for those that are weak;
Pretty little smiles of innocence,
plagued by no knowledge of a true villain;
Letting their heart run away with their minds
euphoria filled such precocious eyes;
Seduced by the belief in poisoned pink apples.
