Sugar and Cyanide

Her love was like water
Every beat of his heart he could feel her pulsing through him
Her love filled the deepest of oceans
All day he swam in them
Her love was viscous and sweet
Honey could never compare
He was a sour-key
The turmoil in the middle of a bad week
A thousand fires in an evergreen forest burning hot
He scalded her
The worst of moods when all she wants is a hug
He could never hold her
He would never try
