Eating feelings

Cups a plenty

The orange packaging jumps out right away,

Serrated edges hide a blissful melt,

A creamy center, makes it all okay.

With every bite, upset begins to grey,

The black paper cradles dreams, thought and felt,

The orange packaging jumps out right away.

-

Perfect mash of flavours, a melodic play,

Peanut butter and chocolate fill where emptiness dwelt,

A creamy centre, makes it all okay.

-

Grab fleeting moments, heal my day,

Observe my bulging, wrapper-made belt,

In orange packaging, they softly lay.

-

All this time dependable, they never stray,

Each cup a friend, catharsis dealt,

A creamy center, makes it all okay.

Though times have changed, and we forget to play,

The healing duo, for every bruise and welt,

The orange packaging jumps out right away

A creamy center, makes it all okay.
