The sweet smell wafting through the air

Drifting in from the kitchen,

A warm gooey batch of cookies 

Laying golden brown on the table,

A strong growl from my stomach

The savory-sweet cookie

Mixing with the deep richness of chocolate,

Leaving me with that desire for just one more

Convincing myself it’s only one more,

I start savoring them less and less

Finding myself eating in a hurry

Quicker than imaginable they’re all gone

After the delight of indulging

A sluggishness in my muscles

Nausea filling up my stomach,

Regret the only thought in my mind

Wishing that I had more restraint

When such an opportunity arises again
