It is not an easy replacement
of food over love.
While desserts are a delight to my tongue
(and so has your kisses),
And soup can warm my belly
(as your hand on it can do),
food will never pay me a compliment
or stare at me deliciously.
Falling in love with food is a one-sided affair…
which is what ours has become.
The Demise of My Diet
Curse this holiday
And its delicious, ridiculous food
And now I am back to eating
This sweet white grain
The bane of my waist
What waist? You say
What a waste of all my
New clothes
That was to go with
My new New Year body
Oh well, farewell diet
Better luck next year, I suppose.
