puffs of sweet fiberglass
dissolve into pink crystals
on the pinnacle of my tongue.

they fall like tickled icicles
puncturing the walls
of my abdomen.

still I consume
the addicting substance,
permitting my body
to slowly commit suicide.

GREAT!!! It really leaves you thinking. When you first said fiberglass I thought 'What?!?!' and then I thought 'no, it must be another way of discribing cotton candy' and then I thought 'wait, it is fiberglass'...it is fiberglass, right?

Wow, this is amazing. O: I love the metaphor here. I don't think I'll ever look at cotton candy the same way. xD

lol the person didn actually mention cotton candy in the poem just in the title that doesn make it about cotton candy, it's just a distractor. And great job!;-)

This is a truly beautiful piece. It's like cotton candy...in an entirely different view. Nice job!
