Cake, I Almost Ate You!

A short poetry

Summer Lotus May 15  1 min read

Oh, how do I resist thee!

I walked past and peeked into the showcase

Your numbers were consumed by half

I was consumed in my own way, by mixed feelings of greed, admiration, and hunger

Then I passed by you again half an hour later

The Patisserie is closed

I am relieved as it is a victory for me

Though not of self-volition

But now is one time, death to the power of temptation

Soon, I believe that I would be delivered from this compulsion to prove that the human spirit can be trained.
