Coffee Blues

Run and don’t come back

inside the walls of your caged mind, ghost moan and scars scratch

on the outside, your smile breaks and your nose grows long

tell me you love me, but demons are inside you

past is coming and future is fading

i never saw you again - past the coffee shop windows

you turned into fog, imaginary

sharp fingers that break down the walls, surrounding me

touching everything that i am - except for my body

you touch only me, your Number Five (vanilla mocha) warms the inside of my mouth, leaking into my soul

drenching it in lies, as you leave

without a tip.
