Sweet Tooth

You're not good for me, & you never were. I knew that all along. Your purpose in my life was only to satisfy. You sustained me for a moment, like chocolate to a sweet tooth. You were so sweet to me, darling. It's human nature to feel hungry, but around you I was starving and the only way I could be filled was with your temporary love. You were my favorite treat, my midnight snack when I was feeling down. You balanced out my lows until there was only an up. I now know why they call it comfort food. You comforted my mind and ego. Never my heart. You gave me a placebo affect that told my mind I was happy, and you gave me energy that made me feel young and fueled my self-confidence like no other. I was never foolish enough to let you get farther than that. I had food poisoning from all the rotten sweets I've had before you, even though your wrapper was different I knew once I thought I had you, I would be sick forever. So now we just sit forever and savor the indulgence, until one of us decides were no longer hungry. Until next time my sweet.
