Caffeine

Poem

By Desmond RazzanoPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

You’re skin’s like cotton candy.

Sugar’s in your bloodstream.

I need my dose of caffeine.

You taste just like a sun-dream.

Let’s slow-dance in the soda rain,

And juicy drop-pop novacane.

Laffy Taffy nerves, but no one’s even laughing.

My sugar rush addiction,

you melt under the heat.

Cocaine-like conviction,

Go up my nose, you’re too sweet.

It’s a tricky induration.

I’m up all night, I can’t sleep.

In a sticky situation, I overdose on caffeine.

Make me feel alive again.

Checkmark me in pencil.

Should I skydive from a skyscraper, most simply drink a Redbull.

Survive to share my story.

Bloodsugar keeps on soaring.

Give me all your sweet dreams, awaken me real gentle.

The oxygen’s made of euphoria.

Inhaling all your harsh energy.

I’m living with a poltergeist,

you ‘ve always been my dark entity.

Liquid’s in my canteen.

Dependent on the caffeine.

Today you are my best friend, tomorrow you’re my arch-enemy.

High on you, at least this time I’m dying right.

Reaching for your heart before I see my dying light.

You’re sugar and spice.

You’re everything nice.

I need you in my system, that’s always been my dying plight.

Your hair smells just like sweet-tarts.

I’m dying to taste your sweet parts.

I don’t need a vaccine.

I function off the caffeine.

I’m sharpening a candy cane to cut right through your sweet heart.
