sugar rush

Somehow you make me lose the taste of bitterness
and turn it into some sort of sugar rush
Quickened pulse
Raced heart
Oversweetened

A diabetic's nightmare--
Leaving a sense of longing for more
than what is allowed.
Your voicemails are blue sugar packets
I melt in my coffee cup
and cherry-coated chocolates
provided free of charge.

I take in each taste
like a two-hour sale--
with a sense of urgency
but controlled greed.

I know my quantities are limited.
