Chocolate Lament

   Rated "G" by the Author.

An addiction is an addiction, no matter what the drug of choice.

Chocolate,
Wonderful chocolate,
How I adore you!
But I'm trying so hard
To live without you
Though not with much success.
Don't you understand
The danger I am in?
My weight is climbing,
My cholestrol is high,
My family history
Promises retribution
If I don't soon control
My insatiable eating
Of all the wrong things.
And you ARE the wrong thing!
Why can't you leave me alone?
Leave me in peace
So I may live my life
To its fullest
And longest.

Maybe so, but chocolate has a sweetness all of its own. The key is always to be taken in moderation, well written piece....

Be always safe,
Karen

Your introductory summary says it all - as does this addictive poem - can't be as bad as my habit, smoking - trying to quit, but it's hard - so hard - pass the chocolate, please!! Well done, and good luck on your battle, Rebecca.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
