[ Liquor lies ]With a bubblegum smile,
candy-coated lips,
and strawberry stained teeth,
her toxic lies
melted on my tongue
like puffs of fairy floss.
It was like a
dizzying rush of too
much spun sugar and too
little restraint.
With me
wrapped around her sticky
fingers,
she shaped me as if I
were a marshmallow soft
bite of
moldable chocolate.
