Every night and every day
we see some candy
behind the glass display.

Predetermined goodies for consumption;
those cream-filled morsels upfront
to tantalize our presumptions.

Vanilla treats beneath the lights;
devoid of illumination are
those dark chocolate delights.

We took pity on the cookies and cream
ignoring the chocolate dreams
as they melted away.
