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.
