Only for Myself

Maple Syrup/Attention

I can't help
that I want
every last drop.
I've made
my own brand
of it
from the tension
that moves
like jello
between us.
The less you give me,
the more I crave it.
I have tried
Splenda,
and stevia,
and monk fruit.
But nothing compares to
thick,
sweet,
warm
maple syrup.
So give it
all to me.
Let me lick
it off
the plate.
