Cookie
Slice after slice broke layer of the cookie dough.
Chocolate oozed from the cookie.
The girl reached to grab the first
It explodes on the floor.
She fell with it
Anything destroyed would ruin her
She started cutting her cookie dough
Tearing the skin
Leaving herself to bleed.
Until a boy reached to grab the top one.
He held it, cherished it, loved it
It was the best cookie he'd ever had.
He wouldn't let it slip.
The plate fell, but he caught his cookie
The floor cracked, but he gripped it tight
The world split and he held the cookie.
The boy and his cookie,
No matters.
One day the boy was a cookie
But his cookie saved him from being sliced.
