I Think The Cheesecake Is Running Away!

Attraction surely is the simple most annoying thing in the world. Yet, the most intense and deepest urges consume our souls with burning fire.  As we allow such emotion to overtake our relative thoughts, we seem to forget the wonder and glory of human conversation.

Such of the same said attraction also backfires in the opposite direction.  Why do we attract those in which we wish to repel? This game of life we play with our frail emotions begins to unwind far into the depths of our engaging souls.

Deceit and lies bring about the same front you will eventually see in the lover you choose. This only brings about the feelings of doubt and terror in your own self consciousness.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the title... now don't laugh... oh, and don't be offended either... the Spaghetti Song. You know the one where the meatball rolls under a bush.

I have not forgotten "the wonder and glory of human conversation." I long for it sometimes. I make up for the lack of it with these online forums. I meet some pretty interesting people, I read some really wonderful writings... like this.

I could write a book on attracting those I wish to repel... in friends, lovers, husbands, co-workers, business associates... hmmm, maybe I should write a book.

Question...? "Deceit and lies bring about the same front you will eventually see in the lover you choose."

Are these the lies we tell our lover? Maybe lies we tell ourselves?

I am glad that is just a metaphor. I have been lying to myself so long I'd have turned into an oak tree by now.

What all this has to do with your insightful piece... I don't know (shrugging shoulders) I tend to get carried away with these comments.

Cheesecake is lush, creamy, and decadent... yum. Sort of like those lies, that attraction. A little bit is good, oh yes... even necessary. Too much will make you sick though, I know that from experience as well. Thank you for sharing this, I really liked it...

wow, that's amazing.
The cheesecake reference could have everything and nothing to do with it,
and I think that's what I love about it most.

I appreciate all this wonderful feedback! I see that I have captured the attention I was looking for with the title. Now you have read it and made your own assumptions (which I absolutely LOVE LOVE to hear the other perspective!), let me tell you why I picked the title.

I LOVE cheesecake! with great great passion. It melts sweetly in my mouth and it's almost heaven at times. Sometimes I have these great wonderful thoughts and can't quite put them down on paper like I want them to. All of you know what I'm talking about - it's a writer's curse. So, even though my little writing came out rather well (I do believe), when i began, it was not what I had intended. My mind is sort of like my sweet little cheesecake..... and in this one.... it could be viewed as running away!!! ;)
Thanks again for all your feedback.... I love it all.

I really thought this was great! .. and though other people don't seem to see the cheesecake as befitting .. I do.. see .. I met AND broke up with my ex.. at the cheesecake factory, so in a sense .. the relationship (which was kinda doomed since the beginning) ran away.. and it definitely played out completely as you described. Such a enveloping feeling while we were together.. it was too much and led to the demise. WHY DO WE ATTRACT THOSE IN WHICH WE WISH TO REPEL?

Quick question... is the cheesecake going to make an appearance later?

I love the title of this, but I'm disappointed with the subject matter. Wish it was a little short story about something relating to the cheesecake.

I second this! XD Hehe. Nicely written and well thought out.

This would be considered prose poetry, right? Or something else? XD I write things like this and I've always thought of it as prose but also poetry, even though other people say that it's not, then some people agree with me. 0_o Such confusing terminology and interpretations....

But, anyway! I like this!
Oh, and awesome title! :]

Wow! Such insight. Way to put it out there. Well written. Kudos.
