Sweet Tooth
I never considered myself as having a sweet tooth
if my coffee is too sweet
I pour it out
if the frosting of a cake is too sweet
I push it aside
Even if the fruit is too ripe
I will not take a bite
Then you came along my views changed
My thoughts converted to all sorts of delectable delights
I wondered how your lips would taste
After you ate that grape
How your skin would taste
With that shimmery hue
Making me wonder if it tastes like honey on you
Where did you come from?
That you tempt me so.
I am very kept and well-controlled
With one taste, I know I will shatter
Like glass on concrete, everywhere I will scatter
I decided if I have a taste of you
It will be decided
You are my sweet tooth
I will no longer fight
if my coffee is too sweet
I pour it out
if the frosting of a cake is too sweet
I push it aside
Even if the fruit is too ripe
I will not take a bite
Then you came along my views changed
My thoughts converted to all sorts of delectable delights
I wondered how your lips would taste
After you ate that grape
How your skin would taste
With that shimmery hue
Making me wonder if it tastes like honey on you
Where did you come from?
That you tempt me so.
I am very kept and well-controlled
With one taste, I know I will shatter
Like glass on concrete, everywhere I will scatter
I decided if I have a taste of you
It will be decided
You are my sweet tooth
I will no longer fight
Author's Note
I'm putting this out there but feel the last stanza needs help. Who is up for the challenge? Whoever wishes to offer up an alternative ending may DM me their suggestion. I will submit what I consider the best one by the end of this month.

Hmm?? Something is off, can't shake and I cannot see it. Too close to the writing I think

Perfect just as it is.
Love us the purest form of hunger. The body hungers for sustenance, the soul hungers for eternity.
