Overdose on fictive fructose

Overdose on fictive fructose

Getting sugar rushes from imagined orchids

Dripping sweet, sweet lies from my brain tongue

Like maple syrup made of make-believe memories


Digging the high of unreal

Saccharine thrill of what never was

Gulping away the glimmering fiction

Straight, neat from the bottle

Of "better-than-life" potion


Too much, too much that thoughts are starting to rot

Teeth of truth ache under the pressure

Of the blindening gleams of candy-coated delusion


Regret creeps out of the corner of my toes

And I drink some more sweet painkiller of

vanilla-flavored denial steeped in daydreams


How to escape?

Bittersweet nostalgia has always been my favourite flavour of illusion.
