Life Savers, Lemondrops

You make the world so much sweeter
Sweet, sweet with your expansive eyes
and sweet with your smile, your smile
Your lips are pouting and ruby and
waiting for mine and
y o u  t a s t e  s u g a r c o a t e d

You make the world so much sweeter,
but mother always told me that
I eat too much sugar
I refuse to eat anything but sweets --
Chocolates and candies with fruit flavor
I want to eat until I am full
but the candy always runs out
before bedtime

You make the world so much sweeter
but I am no longer skeletal and
my skin is inflamed and unsightly
My teeth are rotting away
with cavities
and the pain is excruciating
And looking back on it all,
I should have listened to mother

I'm really happy with this poem. If I make any changes at all, they will be to the second part, and very  minor.

I'd appreciate honest feedback. <3
