CHOCOLATE
a metaphor
Your love tastes bitter, like dark chocolate.
It exhilarates! Almost controls your taste buds while it devours your palette.
A piece a day is best. Like a love on ration.
An acquired taste.
Over the years I learned to digest what you deem as healthy.
I remember though… how I used to love the sweetness of regular chocolate.
It’s softer. Milder. Melts into you. I love that mush. Everyday.
I’d binge on that kinda chocolate.
A luxury your love does not afford.
Ummm… I could as well give up chocolate altogether.
But I’m not a quitter.
Can we make chocolate differently?
Let’s try a new recipe.
