Sugar Crash

He likes to call me nectar

because I’m ungodly sweet

the kind of taste that lingers

until met by a flavor more savory

​

I gave him such a sugar high

but he came down too quick

until all that was left of me

were crystals dissolving on his lips

I didn’t meet the terms of sustenance

so the next time he went to feast

he got full through dinner

and skipped dessert completely
