chocolate almonds melts in my mouth
eyes closed savoring the rich taste.
those around vanishing, as it melted away;
desiring more, choosing another, round, sweet.
never had anything tasted so good;
than the bitter sting of pain
as I bit my tongue; blood poured.
down down, drip drip, down it goes
sobbing; tears to fill a river bank.
my mother rushes in and holds me
holding me tightly, then kisses my head.
saying your alright, let me look at it;
would ice cream make you feel better
I nod, tears still in my eyes
