—a syrupy disaster dressed as indulgence
It dripped in gold, it gleamed with charm,
A sugared rope around your arm.
You sipped, you smiled, you let it cling,
A sweetness thick in everything.
But halfway down, the syrup drowned,
The coffee lost, the cup unsound.
Your lips grew tacky, hands stuck fast,
The guilt was poured, the joy won’t last.
What seemed divine turned cloying, sour,
A sticky weight with no more power.
You drained the glass, but couldn’t hide.
The sugar crust still burned inside.
A caramel crown that cracked in place.
A sweet catastrophe you chased.
