Can you taste it?
It's a bit like almond,
a bit like sugar.
Try it with dinner, every night.
It should take away the pain
in a month, or a year.

Can you taste it?
It's yours if you want it,
only if you want it.
Imagine the texture, if you like.
There's always a space to imagine,
always a little something hidden.

Can you taste it?
Hold it to your lips,
just the gentlest, intoxicating pressure.
You don't have to take a bite,
not if you don't want to.
But I think you want to.

Can you taste it?
Does it make your mouth water,
just a little bit?
It's unique, yet familiar somehow.
Just slip away
and let it melt in your mouth.

Can you taste it?
It's so sweet,
prepared with so much care.
What harm can it do?
A bit like almond, a bit like sugar.
Can you taste it?
