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.

Personally I'm not a big fan. I'm usually not very critical, and sorry if you dissagree, but let me tell you why. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be intrpreted as stright forward or interpreted in a metaphorical sense. If in the case its supposed to be metaphorical you should tie some things in to let the reader know that. If it is supposed to be straight forward and just be about the lack of nutrional value and our nature to indulge regardless, them well im not quite sure. Maybe I just don't get it. Either way, I at least have to give you props for the great imagery, that...you really did a fantastic job with. The first six lines are very good.
