candy whore

I'm very Cherry
got all the accessories
that I need
to advertise
my lusty greed
cherry lollipop
cherry Coke
cherry gloss on my lips
cherry red nails and
a walk that screams
my wound
to the world
at large

barge in on my party, boys
watch me dazzle
at my worst
wild & willing
aching & accursed

I'll be like cinnamon
on your tongue
I'll make you feel
22 years young

that is, after all
what this fluff
is for
to let you know
that at heart
I'm a candy whore
