this is just to say

I mostly liked this poem at first because of its relatablity (don't think that's a word).  I know my family hides food from each other ALL of the time and other families probably do to.  In a big family, the good food disappears fast.  But then I realized how...dark it was.  The first stanza is a simple admittance and in the second stanza it shows the intent.  The speaker knew some one was saving them.  He knew they weren't for him, yet he ate them.  It's a simple thing of eating fruit, so it's not a huge deal...but it's kind of horrible at the same time.  And then in the third stanza he asks for forgiveness.  But it seems wrong to do something on purpose and then ask.  Like "it's easier to ask for forgiveness then permission."  The next two lines of that last stanza say they were delicious and sweet.  But the last line of the poem says "and so cold."  I think that line really hones in on the insensitive thing he did.  He did something he knew would hurt some one, but it's what he wanted.  Then he asked for forgiveness? Kinda cold.
