I Have Chocolate

To say 
I have chocolate 
can say 
so many things 
from you were right
to I was wrong 
to I haven’t seen you in so long
it can soften what stings
I am sorry 
to don’t you worry
or cue our favourite song
from I’ve had enough 
to I call your bluff
to I like it better when we get along 
from you’re invited 
to they’re near sighted
let’s eat that heartache gone

Sweet! Great theme: the many languages of chocolate. And I like the form too. Works equally for hot chips :)

You are a true original, Mo. Just like the chocolate you describe, you say so much with so little. A joy to indulge in your tasty creativity, congrats on your POTW nod. Hugs ~ John

Tastefully written Mo ;) Pure chocolate, not the "processed with alkali" kind, is healthy and beneficial. That said, it just plain soothes all wounds and enhances all celebrations! Congratulations on POTW! :)
