Washing away the taste
of the night,
pursed lips hurriedly slurp down
the third cup of coffee.
Clenched teeth avoid
good mornings.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh, I understand these feeling so very well too, where I'm exhausted getting up and trying to rise and shien in the morning! (sigh) May you have a beautiful day, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

So much said in so few words... the dregs in the coffee pot are sweet compared to some days and saying nothing is the only way to not say too much. This is a hurt I wish you didn't know, dear friend... but well written!

Certainly a short but direct statement.

Sometimes the lack of words is as harsh
as a scream or yell....I know...I do it
and don't always like what I didn't say.

Nice,  liked this.

Well done
