Candy Man

You gave me love
Like a licorice twist
Tasty at first
Then pulled apart
Ice cream cone kindness
That could not withstand the heat
And melted
Cotton candy promises
Sugary with no real substance
Powdered donuts
The hole so wide
You offered popcorn counterpoint conversations
Small seeds sizzling that, then, to burst
Taffy puled in all directions
An All Day Sucker
I thought it best to take your sour lemons
And set up my roadside Lemonade Stand
At least then, I could reap some small profit
For the time spent working on loving you
Bu şiiri puanla
