A
bittersweet coffee taste
Caffeine
is the flavor of my morning
the flavor I love tasting on your tongue
each
morning watching us hold our cups
in
our hands as you smile this radiance
of
hope filled devotion for me,
but
coffee oh bittersweet coffee taste
in
my mouth since you have left
it’s
all I am tasting the aroma of the
chocolate
velvety taste upon
my
tongue feels different these days
walking
in the morning with a cup
in
hand I no longer feel the smile crest
upon
my lips as coffee becomes more
more
haunting with each passing day.
A
writer needs her caffeine filled morning
or
how would she be able to function
now
that you are gone from her life,
surrendering
my love for you and
only
you as days get bittersweet
no
melodramatic arguments
between
lovers throughout the day
surpassing
the moments that we’ve just walked up
to
each other holding hands
your
hand fitted with mine.
My
ring upon your finger would
have
been magnificent on this
Valentines
morning waking up alone
without
my smile is something
a
bittersweet coffee taste would be.
