Craving After Hunger

I turn over and stare 
into those milk chocolate eyes 
as they perfectly melt 
right into mine. 
I see your heart, 
a freshly baked cookie, 
a thick gooey layer of sweetness, 
with a warm ganache at the core, 
and it turns me into your 
tall glass of milk.

Your toasted marshmallow scent 
flirts with my dietary logic, 
and makes its way down 
my neck, leaving a sugary trail 
of sweet morsel magic. 
I give in and devour you 
whole, lick my fingers. 
I don’t care how messy it is. 
Just wipe away these crumbs 
from my lips.

What started as a simple indulgence 
is now a double fudge brownie obsession.
I beg for more, I have to have that flavor 
forever fused to my tongue, 
I want to binge on your sweet taste
Forever, but I know I am asking for too much,
I can’t stop myself now. I know I need help
but the only thing that comforts me
Is your sweet milk chocolate eyes.
