The Craving

by Glenn G   Nov 16, 2014


My mind aches since I have given my heart to you
I have stretched it and stretched it
As though I were standing on my toes trying to reach the cookie on the top shelf
There are other cookies that are easier to reach
But everybody knows the best is always the hardest to get
I look for something to stand on but I find nothing
I stretch a little more but still come up short and the pain grows a little worse
Standing there in the background I watch as another walks up and takes the cookie
With the cookie gone I walk away
My heart still hurts with my need unmet and my desire unfulfilled
I am tempted to get another flavor but what's the point
What would I do with a cookie I don't want and don't like
