Love Grows

It was not long ago
I sank down below.
I ate chocolate everyday
to erase my secret pain.

Within a week, I must confess,
I surly did look a mess.
I had gained so much weight
I couldn't fit through the gait.

I had no such luck
getting into my truck.
It sunk so low,
the tires did blow.

I walked to my home,
and sat all alone.
loneliness it did set.
And you can bet
to the cupboard I did go,
but on the way I stumped my toe.

To out of breath to cry out in pain,
I realized I was so lame,
my self-esteem hit the floor,
the chocolate I needed even more.

Dark chocolate chips and kisses in red.
I ate so much I broke my bed.
I crawled off the floor with all my might.
and called the doctor that very night.

Of course he said I would be fine,
if I paid his bill on time.
I had no money, not even a cent.
In my pocket was only lent.

I spent all my pennies and all my dimes,
all the chocolate had to be mine.
All my possessions I had to sell
this is my story now I tell.

So if you ever feel you don't count
and the pressure seems to mount,
don't escape to candy like me,
or like I, you will be.
