"Dried and Hardened"
by
Cheryl Wilsey

Dried and hardened

Are you
Evil…..
I cannot describe
I cannot contend with
You follow me out
You pass my lips
Hidden….
Hidden in sweet
Coated in chocolate
Calling my name
Lurking in the darkness
You are there
You are waiting
To destroy
To test
My edict
Should I swallow?
Or spit you out?
Reeking havoc…chaos
Is your plan
Your game
To lead me on
To ruin…to spoil…to destroy…
My hunger, my desire
To eat again.
