Sugar-Laced

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?
