Marry me, chocolate, or am I insane?

Gliding to the pantry, I stood quite dazed
Clad in a bathrobe preparing to graze
Committed to craving, a stomach to please
A midnight snack for my wobbly knees

Chocolate, my lover, calls out my name
In a calm, velvet voice, a delicious game
The taste of comfort, joy, and delight
More than just one, a party done right

Melt on my tongue, so dark and so lush
My eyes roll white in a sugar-fueled rush
Playing in a land of treats untasted
An ocean of flavors, not one to be wasted

Double blast brownie, who’s to blame?
Marry me, chocolate, or am I insane?
Dark almond bars, come to me now
A sweet, nutty bite, a succulent vow

Fight crumbs and wrappers, to carve out my way
One last nibble to end this foray
No longer peckish, I must seek my bed
With candied caffeine swimming in my head

My rumbling tummy sings with glee
This cocoa concert set me free
Slip into darkness, back up the stairs
The kids will be sad, I ate all of theirs
