Like Sugar

Like sweet sugar
it slowly melts and spreads inside my heart


Like sweet sugar
it is a little syrupy
slowly wrapping around my heart

and eventually spreading throughout my whole body

Like sweet sugar
melting and slowly spreading
before I knew it

it had cooled and hardened, leaving me unable to move a muscle

Even so, that is fine

I love this moment

This moment when I am no longer my own
is unbearably precious

Even so, someday

Like sweet sugar
turning pitch black and burning
losing the sweetness it once had

I wonder if it will turn into something bitter
