Day 06: chocolate (food prompt)

chocolate
I love you
though we've
not always seen
eye-to-eye.
the days I wanted
for you,
you made me sick.
my wheezing
tongue-swelling
attack
called me out.
there was no
point in
sneaking you in,
when you
raise the alarm
immediately.
I'm so glad
I've gotten older,
you've acclimated
to me.
now I savor you
your meltiness,
dark or milk,
or salty caramel,
sticky sweet,
you become
one with me.
that phenylalanine
rush of good
feeling
I only get from
you
(and the occasional
lemon square.)
