Candy
A sweet indulgence soothes my tired, achy day
It wakens me and lifts me up
and energizes I'd say--
But sadly, quickly fleeing--
it's flavor's soon forgot
And I am left just craving more--
a habit relieved a lot.
O Candy, are you the bane of my existence?
No--even short, sweet moments
in my memory have persistence.
I'll savor and I'll treasure each
sweet interlude--
Unless the pounds pack on too much
--I'll quite a while--so rude.
But, I'll be back--you see I'm hooked
I understand my fate.
You will always win--I sadly learned--
when I thought sweets so great.
