A Recipe for Craving and Self Loathing

Location

I know I shouldn't 
But I must 
The craving 
It is just too much 
The taste of sugar on my tongue 
All I need is just one 
To feed my desire 
To fuel my fire 
A little taste of chocolate 
To send me on a tasty rocket 
Maybe a spoon of caramel 
It won't be very harmful 
And a perfect little cookie 
To make me a diet rookie 
Just a taste 
Just a lick 
Anything to make me tick 
So who cares, if I'm on a diet
 
No 
Not again 
No more laughs 
And painful attacks 
No more hurting 
And friend deserting 
It's not worth it 
If he won't love me a bit 
Not with every thing I have eaten 
It's not worth being beaten 
By me 
Because he doesn't love the way everyone will see 
No more sugar 
No more sweets 
Only vegetables 
And green beans 
But the taste 
No 
But the smell 
No 
But the emptiness, I just can't quell 
Oh well 
Diets are for losers anyway 
Like me
