Sugar in the Box

He loved her sweetly, never letting go
she pushed and shoved
demons from her past wont let her grow
he loves her gently, making her his world
she left him there his life unfurled

She was his sugar
she was his world
everything she said
was everything he did

On a lazy afternoon
he had come home too soon
to find his sugar on the floor
needle in her arm
darkness at their door

He cried over her asking lord why oh why
was his sugar gone, and he was left alone to cry
he sat there for a while
crying and begging
begging and pleading

Then the day came for him to say goodbye
he held that white rose
tears falling from his eyes
wondering why

With his sugar in a box,
his car packed
he left the dusty roads
never looking back.
