Relationship With Food
Stop! Hold up! Pause!
I want you but I don’t need you
The fried chicken with the french fries
And the mild sauce on the side
Been calling me
I’m so hungry
I started scrolling through Uber eats
I am enticed by meaty bacon burgers and sweet tea
But as I mature my cholesterol
Been calling me
I just want to do right
But I get a hankering
For unhealthy food at night
The tacos down the street
Brings a feverish soul to wobbly feet
All in search of chopped steak,
onion, cilantro and cheese
Just tell me the hours the restaurant is open
And I’ll come through
That’s my relationship with food
Love always, Esha ❤
