Cake


For what reason can't I have my cake and eat it too 
Only may I bask in its sweet aromatics you say 
Solely observe the curvaceous construct, I may 
For what reason can't I have my cake and eat it too 
The heat evokes trickling sweat of enticement 
My whispers flirt with the flames for enjoyment 
For what reason can't I have my cake and eat it too 
I wish to caress the icing two fingers by one 
Taste be my aspirations but I achieve none 
For what reason can't I have my cake and eat it too
Despite absent slices but everlasting flavor 
Merely crums foretell, your essence I savor 
For what reason can't I have my cake and eat it too 
Disposition to console your internal vulnerability 
Predilection to salivate your internal sensitivity 
For what reason can't I have my cake and eat it too 
God-sent beauty, I've bestowed such definition 
Bewildered by my love, deemed diabetic infliction 
The reason I, nor anyone can have my cake & eat it too 
Because your existence is thus, so that I may adore you
