They only know you as ice cream Cold, but not cruel Melting just enough to please ~~~~~ You morph into the flavours they crave:

Charismatic Chocolate
Virtuous Vanilla
Sophisticated Salted Caramel

Sugar-laced and smiling With sprinkles on top ~~~~~ But me? I get the real you Milk in its purest form Raw Untouched by any recipe Unaltered by any ingredient or intention Plain And at times, hard to swallow ~~~~~ Only I hold the privilege Of knowing your true form So tell me, would it be wrong If just once I longed to experience you As ice cream? __________________________________________ Thank you so much for reading this! 🥰 If you liked my writing, please leave a comment, click the heart and subscribe for free!
