Chocolate


L: is for the losers who have no heart

O : is for the only thing that keeps us apart

V: is vivacious you look each night

E: is every time I think of you it is hindsight

 

The world really doesn’t know how to love

The world doesn’t understand the chemicals in your mind that create this allusion defined of love

The world doesn’t understand that chocolate gives the exact same chemical stir as love.

That’s why I never gave you chocolate and never ate it around you because I wanted my chemical reaction to be real and not by chocolate of love

I took chocolate out of the relationship and it became real, but the moment I introduced it back … that night it all ended

 

Chocolate was never the same to me after that day

Sometimes knowledge is power and sometimes it just plain sucks

Sometimes the power inside you is the only thing that can hurt you

Sometimes it is the only thing that drives you

But I don’t drive by love, chocolate or the world

I drive myself to school so that I can learn why chocolate stimulates the same part as love

 

Because

 

L: is for how lonely I am right now

O: is how the only thing I can think about is chocolate and depression

N: is for how no one cares about me or my chemical infatuation of chocolate

E: is everyday passes without love is  A DAY NOT LIVING

R: is how the world can’t understand how right I am, but I  won’t understand the areas where I am wrong.

I am a college graduate. just in graduate school! Whenever i stress out i express myself through my poetry. My family really doesn't know about the poems that i write, and i would like to keep it this way. I can stay one dimensional to my friends and colleagues, and have this double life as a hopeless romantic poet, and i am happy with that because poetry is really the only area where i express myself.
