Lollipop Girl and the Sweet Tooth

"Free lollipops!" I said to you.
Though they were free, I still felt used.

The streets were candied with candy shops,
But mine were free of price.
My riches less than I had thought:
Lollipops for lies.

You took my fleet of lollipops,
Teased as my faux friend.
As stock thinned, I should have stopped,
But I chose to extend the end.

As riches diminished, my sweets grew -
At the expense of me.
Through you, I saw thirsty Sweet Tooth -
Saw through the fallacy.

Mine were not sweeter; they were just there.
I built your own facade.
Your heart was not mine, with taste as your fare.
But, you took my lollipops.

Free lollipops I gave to you.
Though they were free, I still felt used.
