You offer a bite, urge me to eat,
you made it for me, it’s to die for,
what do I think of the recipe,
will it work for the big event,
what more seasoning does it need…
You have your reasons
and I understand them
but do you not see
the damage you ask me
to endure? It takes only a bite…
to cause me to fall into the abyss,
to go on a binge not to end
until I’ve regained a hundred pounds,
and added some more,
to destroy the work and improvement
It took me fourteen years to achieve.
Yes, a single bite can hurt.
