Chocolate Reminds Me of Death

by Weeping Wolf   Apr 2, 2007


Blackness
breath into you
inhale the ghastly perfume
grotesque, your silky wrapping
suffocate me, a bell jar
just a drop, a taste, a feel
and I am addicted, consumed.
Oh...how it reminds me of chocolate.

Sweet, dark decadence,
Like the sweet flavoring covering my tongue
Just as the blackness consumes my heart
Dripping syrup, like sin,
Seeping into my skin
A bitter-sweet taste, unquenchable desire
Then the sticky feeling lasting on your lips
As thin as blood, as hard as cold stone
Raw umber staining the white canvas
color- with a provoking treacherous obsession
A quick fix for a deeper problem
That will..never..never fade.

Ever haunting...
Living this lie for you till you surrender
Another bite, another dirty pleasure
This delicious darkness
The sinuous, luscious, dangerous treat.
Oh...how it reminds me of death.

Too dangerous than any bargained for.

hold me, kill me
love me, rape me
chocolate, death
As dark as the words are both known to be.
