Mesmerized By That Saccharine

You may be mesmerized by that saccharine,
And over-the-top pre-sweetened presentation.
So alluring and false.
But not a tooth in my mouth has been decayed,
By chopping down on what is rotten.

I've already had my share and taste of it!
That's why I offer no opinion,
To anyone who believes...
What they are eating is delicious.

Since I at one time thought the same thing...
Until I discovered that addiction,
Was the reason I stayed sick!
And I wish you knew how much it hurts me,
To see you defenseless licking your lips!
