You are my morning cup of coffee

You are my morning cup of coffee,

My hot, steamy, caffeinated beverage made to wake me up,

I sip you,

Bitter,

Some sugar to cheer you up?

I dowse you in vanilla cream…

Any better my darling?

How come you are so nasty?

Not a morning person either?

Well I can't blame you,

Why do I think I drink so much of you?

Because I like you?

Well I do,sorta, the effects you bring to me are quite uplifting,

I shake,

Nervously,

Oh you startle me and delight me,

I feel comforted as you break open into my bloodstream,

My body on fire and ready to start my long and trying day,

Maybe we can get through this together,

Another cup is what I think I need of you,

Whether bitter or not we can make it through,

So my little cappuccino, so frothy and frilly,

I want you to know that I need you,

Like to start my morning, my every morning

Whether you are just black, or a venti latte with skim and carmel syrup stirred inside,

Or else I be stuck in bed all the time

There be no you to keep me awake or alive,

No reason to go outside and try,

No motivator, no mover, just me living my days on my own,

How terribly depressing I must add,

So I'll keep you company if you keep on stirring my brain with your caffeinated ways
