🥟 Chocolate Soup Dumpling

truth be told, you’re something i’ve never had
i can only imagine what you are like
based on externalities, to my distaste
for i am never one to judge from appearances

you’re talked about a lot
attention trails you wherever you go
u defy convention with grace
teach me how to be like you… wait

is that what i really want?
no, what i really want is this

i want to dig my tongue into the folds of your skin
but you’re starting to get cold
should i let you shrivel up
or warm you up in the steamer my kitchen holds?

i know i’ll want more
after the first bite
i know i can always order more
but none of them will be the same as you, my first

now you’re staring at me coldly on my plate
engraved in the memory of my insatiable appetite
i don’t want to eat you anymore, i say as i turn away
the head of a picky eater, with a pout so uptight

i don’t like overly sweet things, i claim
yet you’re the one i crave
im self-conscious of my daily intake
but i’d eat you a million times no matter how much ill weigh

recently i’ve realized
i can’t have my chocolate soup dumpling and eat it too
i knew it all along
but the truth still kinda hurts

just a little bit, i say
i’ve been through this i’m ok
