the dark smudges of chocolate
are filling in my fingerprints
and suddenly i am adrift
without an identity to hold me down
i am one of the thousands
taking this solution
to the bitterness of life
because as long as i can coat
this raw throat with this sticky sweet
i won't have the time to scream
won't need the strength to say
i'm done.
so instead i'll swallow another square
and pretend that all i need is there
i and the thousand other girls
taking cocoa like codeine

mmm chocolate is the wonder-drug! nice poem, altho i would've liked it more if you hadn't so blatantly stated that it was chocolate you were talking about. there is something realistic about the blatant honesty of it tho - we're all drowning our sorrows in something and chocolate is just one of the slightly more healthy addictions - so stating it did work well. im just one of those ppl who like vaguely tantalising suggestivism
tis perfect. i happen to be using that very method to coat my throat today.
