An Ice Cream Story

You are the secret that I keep

there was a hole in my heart, I weep

You are a bandage who mended

an intimacy that was wasted

You are an icing in a cake

licked with a spoon I made

You are a pillow that absorbs

the pain and bile that I wore.

Now I deeply understand

Why my former lovers were gone

Maybe you're an ice cream, I'm the cone

At least, for some reason, I'm not alone

But why are you here, I ask,

if this is a thing that do not last?

I am afraid to let you go

But ours is against their law

I'm fixing my poor soul with my might

getting ready, preparing to fly

But you're still a secret that I keep

I have an ached heart that's relieved

This poem looks playful and cute at first (maybe due to the picture and the title) but is it because there is a heart that bleeds and yearns for a forbidden love?

[Apple Green Sprite]
