I am candy, <br />Wrapped up in plastic, <br />Tied with a pink ribbon, <br />And I am as sweet as sugar, <br />On the inside, <br />As you will taste, <br />When you unwrap my candy. <br /> <br />Life is a bowl of candied cherries, <br />And lollipops so sweet, <br />That taste like heaven, <br />On the tongue, <br />So unwrap my candy. <br /> <br />I talk my words so sweet, <br />Like lemon sherbet, <br />That fizzes on the tongue, <br />Like a bittersweet addiction, <br />So unwrap my candy. <br /> <br />I am wrapped up, <br />Sweetness hidden inside, <br />Like flavoured hard candy, <br />That is perfection on the tastebuds, <br />And I want you, <br />To unwrap my love, <br />That is preserved like, <br />The sweetest wrapped candy.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unwrap-my-candy-version-2/
