As he walked into the coffee house
his luminous blue eyes saw right through me
he grabbed a cup of joe
I took a sip of my hot tea

He claimed the seat beside me
He had a story to share
About the day he lost his love
the day he lost his care

He gave her his affection
His body, mind, and soul
She never opened up to him
She lied and lost control

Something changed within my love
Darkness contaminated her brain
His sad eyes clearly realize
the darkness running in her veins

He continued to fight, with tears falling forth
His strength is a lions bite, and it grows
She disappeared, gone like a glow on the cloud at the close of day
Only my lover knows

Yet he ends up at this coffee house
Depression not his look
I see though your eyes full of sorrow
You don't want to be judged like the cover of a book

Coping with this cataclysm
A woman once very sweet
A woman remains hidden in the shadows
His despair under her feet
