Cookie Jar

Memories from our past
has affected our present
and if we don't do something about it
it will affect our future
so I'm putting you in
the cookie jar

Every moment we shared,
every talk,
every text,
made me feel a part of you
so you're going in the cookie jar

I thought things would last
but you're just like a delicious cookie
waiting to be devoured
but you're just empty calories
going to my thighs

Oh little cookie jar
you kept everything
a little secret,
making sure I forget him
when I throw away the cookie jar

Author's Note

My friend wanted a twist on something and someone she loved.

A very silly poem (in a good way). I laughed all through it. I love your idea of putting away memries like putting things into a cookie jar. A good poem, i really like it. And if someone doesnt like this poem then i will hogtie them and throw them into the cookie jar only to be eaten later by a fat kid. XD

Comparing a guy to cookies, then going on a diet? Genius. ;)

[Tasha]

Haha thank you. ;)

Very nice. For some reason when a person talks about cookie jars I think of childhood. When you add that in it makes the poem mean so much.

Those damn cookies. Sometimes they can be so good. Then again they can be all so bad. It would be so nice to have a cookie jar to throw those who hurt us in it. Lovely

Love this, Ta'shandra.. a nice twist on something we all loved as a child (and as an adult *winks*).. This is probably my favorite stanza:

I thought things would last
but you're just like a delicious cookie
waiting to be devoured
but you're just empty calories
going to my thighs

This was a cute and silly poem! I liked the image of the cookie jar. Thank you for writing.

ha! great comparison on the empty calories front! often relationships are all fluff and no substance, better seal them in a memory jar.
Liked it a lot, just not sure if you meant to have 'has' and not 'have' in reference to 'memories' on the second line :)

[Arizona Sky]

Very clever. Enjoyed this a lot.
Good job!!!
