Temporary Fix

The cookie is crisp, utter magic to the tongue
chocolate screaming aloud before a bite has begun.
The caramel is delicious, there's really no doubt...
it would be more ideal with the calories stripped out!
Each bite would bring forth a taste bud explosion,
while also inspiring the waistline's erosion.
Think of the jeans buried deep in the closet -
temptation in fast forward with no desire to pause it.
Indulging would bring such fleeting satisfaction,
but logic's now trumped by this wicked distraction.
Is this wrapped up bliss really a need?
Consumption becomes a regretted misdeed.
Avert your eyes from the short-term prize,
and deafen your ears to the sweet tooth's cries;
resist the urge to down that Twix...
after all, it's just a temporary fix.
