The Sweet, Bitter Truth

I'm too sweet
Because you've sugarcoated everything for me,
Wrapped in lies, glazed in honey, served so beautifully,
You fed me dreams, sweetened in deceit,
But the sweetness fades, the truth’s bittersweet.

Now I’m bitter,
Like honey turned to vinegar,
A taste that lingers, a truth I can't ignore,
I was your cupcake, but you fed me crumbs,
Whispers of forever, but forever never comes.

I'm too sweet,
I believed in every word you said,
But sugar melts, and so did the threads,
Of the fantasy you spun, a story now undone,
The sweetness slipping, like a race I’ve never won.

You told me love was a sugar rush,
But now I’m sober, feeling out of touch,
I tasted your words, but they left me cold,
Like syrup on my soul, now hard as gold.

But see, I’m breaking free,
From the candy-coated chains,
No more glitter, no more games,
I'm learning to taste the truth raw,
Taking the sour, with no more gloss or law.

I’m too sweet,
But I’ll find my heat,
A new recipe, one that’s all mine,
Not sugar, not lies, just the bitter and fine.

I’m stirring the pot, mixing in my pain,
The bitterness now, but I’ll rise again.

So go ahead, take your sugar and run,
I’m turning the page, the book’s just begun,
I’m too sweet,
But I won’t stay sweet forever,
This time, I’m cooking up something clever.
