My Broken Heart

You tasted so sweet,

but you were rotting my teeth.

You were sugar to my lips

but how bitter was your kiss.



Your pretty foil wrapping

was oh so deceiving.

But what was inside

was a cancer feasting.



The enamel of my heart

slowly began to decay

when you so easily

chose to walk away.



Your goodbye was sour.

My love was devoured

when yours turned to acid

and your flavor was rancid.
