Glasses empty with sweet brims
I inhale the calm and compassion
comes the soft flutter of sounds
I relax, loosen and finally slip

Drowsiness filled the windows of my soul
each tear bears the ocean of relief
with each passing minute I breathe
my love, my presence, my being

For if each sip of sweetness
a bitter memory to forget floats
the aftertaste of coffee causes
the sour feel of your skin in mine

Never look back for there is nothing
Relapses and rapid impulses be enemies
such cruelty and horrid words
once spoken never goes back in

Release anger and hate, turn away
Substitute smiles and apathy, break down
No longer will you be part forever
of one's once sweetheart couple
