babbles and tea

mint chocolate

you promised me
mint chocolate ice cream;
hopefully one fine day
when you no longer consume my dreams.

i fantasise about your eyes-
the way they can consume me whole,
they way they would break me down
piece by piece
until i'm nothing more than a worn down home.

i wish they'd look at me like they once did-
tantalising,
as tasty as the sugar that drips down my lips.
mesmerising,
like you're short of breath with my every kiss.

i wish you'd eat me raw,
tearing into my skin with no respite,
pulling me closer than close like a silent fight.
let your sleepy eyes drown me in devotion,
let your curious hands apprehend me.

i live inside my fantasies
and you are simply a figment of my imagination;
the remnant of a wilful little daydream,
not as sweet as this chocolate cream.

i despise you for this temptation-
do i want you or desire you?
and as your promise weaves through me,
i think i know the answer to that question.
