Tin Foil Promises

Sweet anticipation, your heart in my hand, Robed in shiny bits of blue, Creamy milk and ignorance, Promises, poetic and new.  Heavenly cocoa whispers, Enigma wrapped in a mystery. Dreams and hopes and innocence, To taste and share and see. A smile, a kiss...heartfelt embrace, Moments meant to last. Yet sometimes a moment is nothing more, Once it's gone and passed. Lies, deceit and bittersweet, One thing leads to ten. What once was love and chocolate,  That never should have been. All the prose and sentiment, Belief in love that's loyal, Torn, tattered, crumpled up, Like that little piece of blue tin foil. Long forgiven but never forgotten, Long since trashed and gone. The love and chocolate, memories, Of promises gone wrong.
