Hershey bars,
Dove squares,
Crunch bars and Kit Kats
cover the floor.

One by one, she unwraps
Tootsie rolls and
Mr. Goodbars
then proceeds
to throw the wrappers
on the ground.

Tears and chocolate
stain the blankets.
A Snickers mustache
lines her mouth.

But you know what?
Bitter truth tastes better
chocolate-covered.
