Chocolate

A Metaphor

By Dena MariePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Chocolate leaves me

with a sweet residue in my mouth

comforting me from the inside out

enticing my senses

feeling in love

making me want more

causing a conflict of

need vs desire

an ongoing struggle

I can't make sense of

whilst at the same time

not wanting to

as I am so caught up

in all it's fleeting

triggers of euphoria

I know it's not good for me

but just like a drug

I can't get enough

making me want more

oh yes! kind of like you

except it’s always waiting there

in the same place

on the same shelf

when I want it

unlike you.
