sweet and sour

You make sweet caramel toffees
Turn sour in my mouth
Pinching at my tongue
Inside of my cheeks
Because that sickly sweetness
Reminds me too much of you
The one thing I haven't yet forgotten
That perfume you wore everyday
Caramel goodness
With hints of cigarette smoke
And undertones of a
Freshly ironed shirt

That's what I remember of you
Not your face, your voice
The way you looked at me
All of that has been forgotten
But this
It turns sweet toffees
Sour
