Wrapped

You are beautiful chocolate wrapped in sweetness.

I wish others knew.

The pain concealed behind sepia covering;

The anguish among all the whitewashed faces of skin.

You are beautiful chocolate wrapped in sweetness

With just a hint of Tabasco to emphasize kick.

Tenacity topples you and hugs you infinitely

Because you represent beauty impeccably.

You are beautiful chocolate wrapped in sweetness.

Teeth marks dent your outside layer

From the bicuspids of unworthy mouths

And throats of unnecessary voices.

You are beautiful chocolate wrapped in sweetness

But I’m pissed.

You don’t get the 100% pure passionate loving,

I’m certain you deserve.

So, please, allow me.

Allow me the chance to unwrap your sweetness,

To meld with my compassion.

Then, we can both revel in the goodness of flavor,

One taste bud at a time.
