solace in ice cream

The spoon plunges in,
exploring the freezing depths of
the favored 'comfort food'.
The pint of safeway select butter brickle
held lovingly in the caress of my hand.
I clean the spoon of frozen happiness,
sighing heavily as the movie unfolds.
A romantic comedy, the ones that make you cry.
A well-loved box of kleenex is my copilot,
as I steer through the skies of lonliness.
It is a monday night, and one spent
revelling in sadness.
In some perverted way I enjoy wallowing in sorrow.
Its like pressing a bruise to see if it hurts.
You know it will.
Another spoonful is pulled from the creamy depths,
another sigh set forth.
The blanket is pulled up farther,
the phone unplugged,
the mood set in,
and the heart ache renewed.

Pumpkin ice cream is my wife's favorite for this time of the year. An enjoyable read... thanks for sharing.

I'm totally new to this, so hopefully being a 'newbie' doesn't discount my praise.

I loved this. I've had plenty of those wallowing nights with some Ben & Jerry's...I could taste it while reading this!
