Love never dies in the thick of battle
Love never dies in the disputes
Never, in the voices, raised like thunder
Nor the hands, slamming like a judges gravel

No,

Love dies in silent retreats into numbness
Love dies in complacency
Love dies in the quiet shut of the door of
”I simply don’t care”

You’ve walked with me,
Through the dark days
And I need your dark roast
In the deepest of ways
And your warming presence
Consistently stays

As the sun bursts through the gate
I find myself anxious
I can stand when you’re late
When I hear you’re coming
I can just hardly wait
I’m pacing and racing
I need your taste

I know, from my lips
You won’t drift very far
So Coffee, thank you
I adore all that you are

and i try to distract myself with anything
just to forget the sadness
that i feel inside

but i can't seem to
find time to do anything
because of the sadness that i feel inside
