Fairy Floss Heart

fairy floss heart

too sweet and fickle

beating fluffy floss

curious and cute
he’s hiding something
she’s a detective
hunting

your touch
will convince
her
sorrowful heart
love
is enough

ambient light
from your love
brings my heart to life

distant heart
beating slow

moving further
growing colder

frozen still

within you
they see
your integrity
steadfastly poised,
unwaveringly composed

devious thoughts
plotting a way
to obtain love
through cuisine

It’s a coincidence
that you’re leaving
and so am I

A refuge
to eat
chocolate
and
ice cream
without
judgement.

Your shadow
haunts my soul still,
even in the darkness.
