Peanut Butter

I traded my heart for a jar of peanut butter
No love lost
No love found
In my white bread world
Slice by slice
I spread my life before me
Each stroke of the knife
As the crust is removed
Exposes all of my pain
Leaving me no choice
But to eat all my dreams
Until the jar is empty
And I no longer hunger
For the taste of peanut butter
