<BR>
			When the Sweet Turns Sour<BR>
<BR>
			My momma told me<BR>
			when I was young,<BR>
			“Don’t eat too much of that chocolate.” <BR>
			She said it only tastes good<BR>
			when it’s a bite.<BR>
<BR>
			But I was hard headed,<BR>
			so I bought the whole box<BR>
			and ate every piece<BR>
			until the sweet turned sour in my mouth.<BR>
<BR>
			Not sour like candy,<BR>
			but sour like rotten milk.<BR>
			Lumpy.<BR>
<BR>
			And I hurled,<BR>
			because I was sick<BR>
			to my stomach,<BR>
			sick<BR>
			to my heart.<BR>
<BR>
			And I had to wrap it back up,<BR>
			and throw it away,<BR>
			even when it still looked good.<BR>
<BR>

		All you have done<BR>
<BR>
	Stealing my heart was so easy for you<BR>
	True love was the fantasy only you<BR>
	could make it true.<BR>
	Love was transparent, like charcoal steam.<BR>
	You were the one cut out of my dream.<BR>
	<BR>
	You were the one who woke me from sleep<BR>
	and stole my heart with a love so deep.<BR>
	You opened the door to a love so dense,<BR>
	you cared not for the cost and expense.<BR>
<BR>
	You grasped me from darkness not a moment<BR>
	too soon and displayed a love so pure and<BR>
	perfectly in tone.<BR>
	The light in your soul was impossible to avoid<BR>
	Hate you banished. Fear you destroyed.<BR>
	<BR>
	The day I met you the loss of love was quenched<BR>
	My soul, once so dry, was instantly drenched.<BR>
	Please, you must never forget all that <BR>
	was destined for us that day we met.<BR>
