He once told me
he wanted to swim
in the chocolate of my eyes,
Hershey kisses he fed me
milked with flattering lies.

a week before Valentine's day
I refused to give him his way
he had enough of my hazelnut skin
threatening for us to be over,
voting for us to end.

overstepping his boundaries
he knew he had tripped
and as honey drips
this honey dipped.

I fulfilled his dark fears
but now I plead for him with mercy
to wipe away
my lonely muddy tears.
