floating down a river...

Your hair falls across your forehead,
While you pour apologies into your coffee,
You hate it (me) when it's (I'm) bitter.
I reach across the table and touch your arm,
Accidentally, of course, I was really going for the sugar.
Your hopelessy hopeful green eyes look up at me,
"I hate it when you're this pathetic," I say,
I don't even bother looking up,
I'm much too busy pouring sugar after sugar into my coffee,
And, besides, I know the look you're giving me all too well.
"Wasn't it what made you fall in love with me in the first place?" You ask.
(That one deserves another sugar.)
Your eyes are burning a hole in my face,
What are you waiting for me to do?
One brief glance at you,
Your miserable lips are dying for attention,
I don't plan on kissing you,
Not while you have coffee breath,
Not while you're this pitiful.
"Could you hand me another sugar?"

I don't really know what to say to this one. On the one hand, it's just a story about two people in a coffee shop. On the other hand, there's something so... deep in this that it's hard for me to fully grasp what it was that I was reading. I really like this one

I loved this poem!!  I loved the way you compared the whole situation between these two people to coffee.  ( The sweet, the bitte) You used very powerful language which really made me feel the situation a lot more.  I could see it in my mind while I was reading this piece.  GREATTT JOBB!!

Much love,
shea
