Forbidden Love
You flash through my memories
In every season
As drizzle on pie in the fall,
A warm drink after sledding in the winter,
Shaped as easter eggs and bunnies in the spring.
Or in a s'more by the campfire in mid July
On every holiday
As cookies on christmas eve,
Cake on my birthday
Or pie on Thanksgiving
Sometimes in the form of ice cream
Numbing my mouth when I am dripping in tears,
Or melting down my arms on a hot summer day
No matter what life throws at me,
chocolate,
you have always been there.
As regular, white, dark or mint,
In ghiradelli form with caramel inside
Mending my heart when it is feeling sore
But after I am fixed, you always leave me wanting more
Just another cupcake
I tell myself before grabbing another
But the frosting is so sweet
I can't help but wonder
Will this one singular cupcake really show on the scale?
People love to shame you.
When I was younger people told me you were no good before bed
But you taste the best as a midnight snack
My mother always says one scoop is enough
But the chill of the whole tub in my stomach helps me feel whole
My sister once said a moment on your lips stays forever on your hips
But my hips don’t matter unless I have the will to live
Deep in my memory
Before I could even ride a bike
It was always you who made me happy
Despite the multiple tragedies I happened to face
Why do people say you're bad,
When you’re the only one who is there when I’m sad?
