SUGAR | A POEM



In a strange way I sort of miss you
I miss your comfort & your warmth
I miss how you could take all the pain away
For that, I would always find you.

As if you were him and I were his,
We had something no one but us could break
And oh how it broke
Oh, how your absence has shattered me.

People say that once you walked out on them, 
They awoke with a newfound clarity
No longer a stupid kid in a lolly shop,
They got to have their own adventure.

I know I was right to let you leave
Even if you didn't let me have an adventure 
But, god, how it hurts to still be in this shop
Where I cannot eat a thing.
