truth hides behind sweets
 spun in twisted cotton puffs
 too good to resist
 
 it’s found in blue skies
 after days of silent snow
 (unforgiving eyes)
 
 it’s trapped on leashes
 waiting for that outdoor risk
 ready to break free
 
 it’s the tie that binds
 and breaks trust as we swallow,
 candy-coated lust
