Sugary

like strawberry syrup your sticky sweet artificial charisma

sent me into a tizzy

fizzy coke floats, a crackling tangible energy

as if caramel is stuck between my teeth

my mouth can't hardly move to respond

to your chocolate voice that melts into my ears

and warms my heart like a hot cocoa on a winter's night

my silence leads you to prod once more

"I see you're having trouble deciding, would you like to try a sample?"

you say as you gesture to the ice cream on display

i nod excitedly like a kid in a candy store
