Sugar and Salt

Some days you are salt 

some days you are sugar 

some days you are kind 

and some days you pretend to be 

to some it may look the same 

but I can tell just by your smell 

I have to taste the salt 

so I can get the sweet 

I'll endure a thousand days of salt 

to taste a single grain of sugar again 

you used to feed me desserts 

and now all I get is bitter
