Sugar!
Luscious morsels
tantalizing taste buds,
elevating blood counts, craving
sugar!
Sweetness filling
lack, and emotional
high – chocolate as substitute,
sugar…
savour, swallow,
deny empty spaces,
forget no-one ever calls you
Sugar.

Chocolate is my go-to to sweeten the moment. I think emotional eating can get one in trouble. Life is a balancing act between treating oneself and overindulging. I found this line very sad, “Forget no-one ever calls you.” Part of life for many elderly folks.

Balancing is hard. I am definitely an emotional eater. No one calls us sweetheart and touch dwindles away.

My mother calls me “sugar.” 🙂 You hit my sweet tooth and my funny bone with that one. 🙂 Nicely done!
