i was so scared to let you in
i wish i knew then what i know now
the bliss that i felt was truly temporary
i ate up the lies you fed me like nourishment i refused
like the popcorn you used to feed me
like the month old candy i can't quite convince myself to dispose of
when those butterscotches melt away
so will my attachment to you
i'm simply not ready to take the plunge
until then i'll continue to starve myself from the love i never quite felt
