Sweet & Sour

Hold you close to the light,
To see if you're real -
Strip away all these layers,
But I'd slip on the peels -
Subtract the ingredients,
Try the "all natural" you -
Thought I'd like the simplicity,
But it's flavored like glue.

I had to 'doctor' you up,
Held the spoon to my lips -
Prayed the heat wouldn't scorch me
When I sampled your hips.

Falling deep into slumber,
I got my fill of your charms -
The sirens are blaring,
I'm sounding alarms...

Please provide me a remedy,
Stop this churning inside -
As the poison advances,
It's burning my pride.

I was a fool to consume,
This feast for the eyes -
I'm addicted to chance,
Games that cause my demise.

Cards stacked in your favor,
This deal's never fair -
So sweet it's turned sour,
I'm the crisp, you're the air...
