We shared a love, both spicy and sincere

The juicy nuggets like a gentle kiss

With every bite, your warmth would reappear

No truer touch — I never dreamed of this

But Sundays, God commands you not to stay

I don’t believe, yet still I have to fast

Your warmth is blocked, our closeness gone astray

Your comfort fills my stomach and my heart

A warmth I know I will truly cherish

But faith has built a wall to keep us ‘part

And in its shadow, love has to perish

Oh Chick-fil-A, you were my great mistake

My palate’s joy, my religious heartbreak
