Midnight Snack Poem by Marie Joyce B. Negapatan

Over grahams and phantasm
For every bite, how I fly
To the world of fiction
Where candy-coated lines
Covered the ruins of my life.

With every temptation
Of this sweet surreal
I keep on thinking
Could you be real
Or am I just foolish
To ever believe

You're indeed living
Within my tastebuds
Confined inside my heart
Making my life sweeter
With every waking dream
I chase and follow

To sail
a million oceans
To fly
beneath the countless stars
still I find myself
lying on my bed
with you in my head

Waking up
With every grahams
and phantasm
And reality bites
But then you're just
A sweet never
That can never be mine
forever
