Broth

I do not bake because I am in love
Nor do I love simply because I bake.
To cook with you is not a promise of
My adoration; I don't always take
A lover when I join a fellow baker.
Rather I find this solace just in you:
Only with you do I feel like a faker
If I deny that everything I do
From choice of recipe to how we eat
Is centered on your appetite and wish.
Only your taste determines bitter, sweet
And savory. For you I make each dish
And you I love - but baking's not the reason
Rather I find my taste in how you season.
