Sugar Coated Love

My love is like a bowl of free candy

Everyone wants a piece of my love

My sweet, sugar coated love

My available, easily accessible love

My abundant, overflowing love

People take my love

Some by a single piece

And some by the handful

But no one refills the bowl

People take, and take, and take my candy love

They suck, and chew, and spit out my love

But no one refills my bowl

My heart

So when my last piece is taken

And there is nothing left for me to give

They leave

They leave me with nothing

Not even a single Now and Later to suck myself

And who wants to hold an empty bowl

An empty heart
