Destroyed Insides

 Oh,

forbidden one.

A microscopic amount

willingly placed on my tongue

will send me straight

to my safe place.


Sitting in that place makes it all better.

My insides might be destroyed

but that peanut butter chocolate swirl

gave my tastebuds a much-needed beating.


You brainwashed me

at the lactose-free ice cream

section of the frozen food freezers.

Someone or something

had placed you there

knowing that a rushed shopper

like myself would only glance at the label.

A prank or a crime.

Someone blessed with too much time.
