Candies and toys

Poem

cosminoance.com

I’m used to bouncing

off your tongue

You’d think that I like to keep you

busy

like when you’re a kid and

you do something wrong

then you get punished

but you want the attention

At least someone cares

enough

to do those things to you

you know?

Truth be told

you’re the kid here

and I’m that fancy treat

you had so much of lately

’til I made you sick

Candies and toys

they go stale

you can have too much

they break or

you just outgrow them

Then one day you get an urge

when you forget all that

Sometimes

they don’t make those anymore

and that’s sad

but nothing’s worse than

they changed the formula

You can still get nauseous

but it’s just not the same

and then that broken toy

the one you thought you missed

was it your mind playing games?
