Gingerbread Man

I don't need whipped cream or frosting to make me sweet.
Neither on my cookies.
Or to make my life sweet.
 
It's too much sugar for me.
A prince charming just isn't the one I need.
I want a gingerbread man,the one I'll feed.
 
A gingerbread man,one with frosting.
Candy buttons and chocolate eyes.
A gingerbread man,one full of color.
 
Make me fly higher,fall harder.
Depends on how you bake him in the oven,and a slice of cake.
A gingerbread man,one that someday will be a father.
 
A gingerbread man to play a game.
Untill I am no long the same.
I will turn to cookie dough.
 
I'll feel happy,never foul.
A game I'll play till my heart bleeds.
A gingerbread man,the one my heart needs.
 
One day,I'll turn into a cookie.
And his love will be the icing on my body.
He will bake me in the oven.
 
And hold me at night tightly.
I will become a gingerbread cookie,the one everyone desires.
A gingerbread man,cooked in oven,fires.
 
I need a gingerbread man one that's always sweet.
One who doesn't judge me,whether I am chubby or petite.
One who's never lazy.
 
And always comes to my home.
To bring me flowers,a color all their own.
He'll bring me red roses.
 
Before the dough decomposes.
He'll be the frosting to fix my heart.
I want a gingerbread man,the one I wish I had.
 
I will play these games until my heart bleeds.
And loneliness sprouts many seeds.
Can someone please find him for me?
 
I'll give you a great reward.
I'll give you the leftover cookies I had.
Everytime I try to bake cookies,they came out burnt.
 
So lonely,their backs turned.
When I tried to bake me a gingerbread man.
I forgot the candy buttons and chocolate eyes.
 
Maybe I didn't add enough sugar to my dough?
Maybe that's why people ate it and felt foul.
Should I pair it with lemonade?
 
A dessert,fully homemade.
Let me sweeten up the cookie dough.
Baby,will you take a bite?
 
Sleep in our arms tonight.
Together,we'll bake cookies through the night.

Author's Note
A poem based on ""Gingerbread Man"" by Melanie Martinez.
Don't take the end too seriously,I meant actual cookies with ingredients and all due to the theme of the poem.
""A gingerbread man,the one I will eat.
A gingerbread man,the one I need.
The one I take care of and feed.
Untill our last day comes.""
