Three Grams of Sugar
written by: Robin McNamara
@thewindingroad1
A sugar cube weighs
Three grams.
Your sweetened lies
Weigh the same as
A sugar cube.
Dissolved on my tongue
Bitter sweetness,
Deep eyes of deception
As black as the untouched
Cold coffee.
Your love dissolved –
Like a three grams
sugar cube…
