Holiday Sweets

I don't want to be sweet anymore.
I don't want to be holiday candy-
confectionery sugar that melts in your mouth and is gone
(the taste only lingering until the next piece comes along).
I want to be lasting!
I want to be fruitcake and say, "Don't take a piece of me! I'll make your nights Hell!"
