Sacharrine Promises
i live through the moments
in seconds
passing me by
in hopes that you will notice me
but
nothing....
feeling like a child
in a
candy
store
awaiting a glorious
sweetness
with all the hopes that
if
I am patient
and a good little girl
i will be rewarded
by your
promise of
cinneman hearts
but nothing
ever comes of this
wishful thinking
naiive
feeling your scorn
like licorice whips
salivating
i grasp for your Red Lips
and you do nothing
those chocolate eyes do watch me
and i beg
for something more
other than the promises
they fill up the jelly bean jar
too many to guess
in your game
cotton candy
fluff
with no substance
sugary tripe
i wonder if you will ever know
the bubble gum has become too exhuasting to blow
