You said we should meet
I hesitated
Self-censured
Like that last piece of chocolate
I know I shouldn’t eat
mocking me
we both know how this will end
bittersweet
a bit more of the dark and bitter for me
a bit more of the sickly sweet for you
unfortunately
l can’t burn this off on a treadmill or a walking path
so I am undecided, for now,
two seconds later
there goes my resolve
and just like that
the last piece of chocolate
is gone.
