I know I took you for granted.
You were my breakfast, my coffee snack.
You made a lunchtime sandwich complete.
You were the coating on my chicken
And everything I had to eat was wrapped in you.
I miss you. But I’ve learned to live without you
You were killing me. Little by little.
Hurting me. Destroying me.
You didn’t know. Neither did I
Until that day they said that we must part
It broke my heart.
I miss you. But I’ve learned to live without you
You’re as popular as ever with my friends.
I see you all the time, but I won’t come close.
I used to think that I would die without you
But now I know the opposite is true
I had to leave you so that I could live.
I forgive you, Gluten.
I miss you. But I’ve learned to live without you
A little self indulgent poem, from a prompt to write about a platonic relationship !
It was suprisingly cathartic, considering I’v been gluten free/ coeliac for over half my life!
