Too late.
Too late.
Where were you
When I fell?
Where were when
I needed you?
Hiding in the crowds,
Hiding behind a screen,
Faceless,
Nameless,
Oblivious.
Candy wrappers
Were never so undertrodden.
Even candy is pleasurable.
But you were never there?
And now, my crackling candy —
And you're a sour patch kid —
Here you are,
Loud in my ears,
So addicting.
Blurry vision
And I'm giving up
Blurry thoughts
And pull me under,
My candy is sweeter
Than yours
But I just want to be
Clean again.
Help is needed here.
Wake up,
Wake up!
But no, no, no
We don't want it.
So leave.
'S nothing but an aftertaste.
And
People do grow out of candy
Right?
