Dessert

Sweeten those lonely moments
with sugar substitute sex,
empty calorie kisses,
and oven-warmed passion.
Cream-filled nights,
empty bed sleep,
nothing concrete
but the constant pleasure
reverberating through every nerve.
Keep your heart bitter.
They don't like it sweet,
candy crushed beneath their feet.
Your sensitivity isn't needed
to be a confectionery delicacy,
Sate the appetite of the hungry,
but remember you're only dessert,
only what they want in moments
where a craving is involved,
so don't wish for more
than an after-meal appeal,
comfort food for the moment.
After all,
you're only dessert.
