Sweets

July 23, 2016

Sweets
Sweets are a girl's best friend
You could have the worst day ever, but 
Sweets will make that frown turn upside down

Sweets
My love for them are like a melody
Too much is unhealthy,
but the richness and sweetness of that chocolate cake
has already molded with my body

Sweets
Sweets soak our very beings, 
like a sponge in the water.
Without them, 
life would be a barren field
joyless and empty and meaningless

Sweets
Sweets are what I come home to 
If I worked the brief hours 
and disdainful weeks, 
I have a chocolate bar waiting for me,
right there in the fridge

Sweets
Sweets are what females describe as amazing
for t'was practically made for us,
us women in the world

Sweets
Sweets are great things to enjoy
because they're more powerful than rays,
more inspiring than plays
and it's my money that pays
to buy the damn sweets for myself
