The dim lights burnt their place in my memory, like the black coffee that I spilled onto me. This café seemed to change, new owners, same ****** taste. Maybe that describes me?
I swear I changed, but I'm still the same. Maybe that's why you didn't stay? The thought haunts me, but the stain on my shirt tells me I should leave, pay my tab, and find a taxi, but I haven't changed. I'm a creature of routine, praying about a memory that won't come back to life.
