Switch off the saccharine <br />because your sweetness <br />leaves me nauseated <br />and retching <br />clutching for a bucket <br />at the side of my bed <br /> <br />While your adoration <br />makes me reel drunkenly <br />stretching for a hold <br />on something solid <br /> <br />Because your words shimmer through <br />my fingers <br />like vapor <br /> <br />I can't be bothered to appreciate <br />your sentiment <br />because it is the sediment in my red wine <br /> <br />Leave me <br />burnt, bitter, black<br /><br />Abbi van den Berg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aspartame-2/
