I stare up from
My coffee cup
Only to find you avoiding me
I stare straight
Into the void
Between waking dreams
And nightmares
I burn my tongue
As you put down
the sunday paper
I quickly focus my energy
on the scrambled eggs
at the end of my fork
I feel your thoughts
weighing me down
And your eyes crawling
over my skin
I feel you taking a sip
Of the bitter coffee
I hope it burns a hole
Through your very existence
Sometimes I wish you could
Read my lips
You claimed a thousand times before
You could
But I laugh
When this sugar tastes better
Than your kisses ever did
If only you knew
That this is going to be
Your last cup of morning coffee
With me sitting here
being seen and not heard
And the last taste of my salty cries
In the middle of the night
And the last time I'll ever let you enter
my inner sanctuary



If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
