Her for breakfast

Toast for breakfast,
Marmite on toast with lashings of her
And her obsession with Marmite.

Maybe some vegan cheese too:
A few slices of her
Making breakfast when we got back from Amsterdam.

And a glass of orange juice
With added her
And every breakfast in bed we ever had.

A black coffee later on:
A bitter brew of her
Causing sleepless nights.

Some cereal with soya milk:
Spoonfuls of her
When she first went vegan.

And half a grapefruit to finish off,
The other half left rolling around by itself.

A breakfast that fills me up
But that leaves me feeling empty.
