kitkats - maeve noiré lyrics

Loading...

mama’s got that faraway look
lipstick smudged on picture books
microwave meals, tv laughs
while i hide my wrappers in the trash

told me i was her little treat—
chocolate cheeks and sticky feet
but bedtime came, and so did screams
the kind that echo into dreams

she said, “don’t worry, love, i’m fine,”
then bit her nails down past the line

kitkats—
i was just a kitkat—
sweet enough to split, too easy to forget
she’d break me off, then break again
trade my silence for pretend
i smiled like sugar on her tongue
but every snap undid the fun
wrapped me up in store*bought hugs
then left me melting in the rug

she used to hum my lullabies
now she just stares with candy eyes
red foil dreams on paper plates—
i learned young how sugar breaks
cartons piled beside her bed
crumbs like words she never said
she loved me best when i was still
when i stayed sweet and didn’t spill

the couch became a second grave
where all her broken kitkats stayed

kitkats—
i was just a kitkat—
sweet enough to split, too easy to forget
she bit the parts that made me whole
then blamed me when i didn’t fold
a treat she’d save then throw away
when pain returned and skies turned gray
she snapped my love like candy wood
and said, “you’ll heal. you always should.”

snap, snap—can you hear it now?
the sound of love that’s not allowed
i crumbled quiet in her lap;
she kissed my cheek, then took her nap

kitkats—
i was just a kitkat—
sweet enough to split, too easy to forget
now the foil’s torn, and i can see
i was a snack, not family
she left me half in plastic wrap—
a sugar kid in her relapse
not broken—just uneaten yet
still waiting for what love forgets
snap me once, i don’t resist
snap me twice, i cease to exist
put me back in silver sleeves
say i’m sweet, then let me leave

i was just a kitkat…
and you never finished me
