Sugar lips



Oh, sugar lips
Did you enjoy that chocolate eclair?
The lush mellow chocolate wrapped with love and care
You stuff your face with beautiful confections that bring you satisfaction and no despair
The mere saccharine taste will take you away from any lively scare.
Your innocence paves the way and shields your ears with duct tape
Not any normal duct tape taste like strawberry cream and frost flakes
But the consciousness remains asleep while the baby is still wide awake.
Sugar lips, soon your consciousness will be awaken with a large calamitous quake.

Oh sugar lips
Did you enjoy that ice cream and cake?
Big desserts bring big satisfaction and physical damage. I presumed everyone knew that.
Be cautious for the physical defects. For they will be engrained in your brain the next time you pick up your utensil.
I didn’t mean for that to happen, I’m sorry.

Oh sugar lips
Did you enjoy your cake, ice cream, and tea?
Made with love and care but defects towards your chi.
You have stuffed your face with felicity and fullness.
To exterminate the grief from your episodes of dullness.
Is it just your stomach you are feeding? Or is your emptiness just your make-believing.
Hey, you’ll still always be my sugar lips.

Oh sugar lips
Why haven’t you touched your cake and tea
Has this calamitous price contained and extra fee?
I hold back tears and grab your wrist as I extend it out to me. Your arm grows thin and nimble like a deer drained of all of its beauty.
Little do I know it’s been this way for millions of weeks.
Each day gone by is an attempt to shrivel down the meat.
Sugar lips, why have you done this?
Can I offer you more tea and cake?
The defects that have been put on to you are causing me to bleat.
Can I offer you one last chocolate eclair?
It used to be your favorite treat.

I’m sorry
I’m sorry
