Oh, death, could you spare me over for another year?

White, brown,

Crystalline, toffee,

In liquid form, in solid,

Even in gas.

You killed me,

You robbed me,

You blew all my chances,

I drooled over you,

Since i could crawl,

I waited for you, as reward,

I stole and hid you, when none came,

I worshipped everything ,

Every product you contained,

Including the abominable licorice,

Which i ate desperately, in need of a fix,

Including the unholy mint flavored sweets,

A “present” from a heartless aunt,

Including the expired syrup,

Including the sour smelling soda,

Including the rat poison.

Thank you.
