Poetic study of a very sweet relationship. Published Summer/Autumn Issue, 2007, by Pegasus, KY State Poetry Society Journal.

Pull yourself together.
you're so strung out.

Sweet perhaps,
but sometimes cold
and brittle,
and, oh, I don't know,
just so twisted.

I'd love to go along
with you, but
with your pull, well
it's a sticky situation--
I have to let go.

Hey, just keep on being
your old luscious self;
I'll keep loving you
and all those empty
wrappers on the shelf!
