Did I mention?

i have an allergy,
drop-down-dead variety?
nay - but worse really.

i go through days
without many sways
then succumb, and pays

i indulge
from time to time
give in
or go insane

..then suffer..

i break out in rashes
when it's more than just dashes

my poor skin crashes

ugly and itchy
painful and scratchy
scary and leachy

but tell me –
dear one,

tell me -
is anything worse?

..than a chocolate allergy..

It is almost late for submitting to this prompt at SS but couldn't resist as there were so many to choose from. What stood out for me was the 'Chocolate'. What I couldn’t have, but what I could dream about and write pages on. Yes, I have a coco allergy, bummer innit? Yeah, you know where you can take those sympathies. As a kid, I thought I was most unfortunate to be born and not be able to savor what I considered then, well, what I still consider as the 'heaven on earth' feeling. My doctor advised my parents to keep me away from those chocolate chips and likes. I suffered. No suffering could be worse surely. Who could resist chocolates? With age the allergy did not disappear but decreased. I could indulge in small quantities, very tiny amounts of chocolate. But the suffering never ceased. Will it ever? I drool at the thought of chocolate to this very day.
