Candy

 *Candy*

 

At times you can be so sweet, filling me with joy.

Other times with hoplesness, you remind me much of boys.

 

I crave you yet I know I will soon wish I had not.

Your bright coloredness attracts me, more than anything I've bought.

 

As I go in for the bite, I see your sticky sugar topping.

I hesitate then think twice before finally just stopping.

 

I make a healthy choice and throw you in the bin.

Some lucky cat will find you and think wow what a sin.

 

So one last thing I ask of you for I am very much amused

At how you have me muttering utterly confused.

 

Are you, a fickle friend or foe?

Or are you simply putting on a show?
