I Must Escape this Escape!

Overflowing with sadness
and guilt and shame ,
I find my mind wandering.
It always does.
It wanders all the way to
the cabinets,
Where I know all too well is
where the candy
Left-over from Halloween
Is being stored.
Just one piece, I beg myself,
A promise made.
I break the promise I've made,
Unwrap candy.
Piece by piece of cholate.
Melted, sweet, and
Savory chocolate bits.
Bitter-sweetness,
The taste is a sweet haven
That takes me far
away from my misery.
Lasts a second.
Afterwards, I feel awful.
My deed has caused
horrible after-affects.
It is all gone;
The bag- my haven's- empty.
What do I do?
I know I need something more.
More chocolate!
No… that is not what I need...
What I need is
A better coping method.
I know I must
Move onto more stable ground,
Find a way to-
To deal with this addiction.
I must… I must…
I…Wasn’t there some more of
That chocolate
In the bottom cabinet?
Just one more piece…
