CHOCOLATE SYRUP IN A COFFEE
The chocolate syrup in a coffee,
sweetness to their ever-bitter footprints.
You're the genuine flavor I craved for—
showed me love can be more than just sour.
My taste has been ramshackle and shamed yet
you gave sustenance to my heart they've wasted.*
My man said to make "chocolate syrup in a coffee" a romantic poem so I did.
