Black Coffee and Lovers

What is it with black coffee and lovers?

The bitter taste of coffee mixed with your sweet words must make the perfect drink

Each sip as addicting and intoxicating as the last

 

Its art with you

Paintings hung on walls and pottery left in the kin to bake

The cracks on the clay's surface barely reflect the valleys in your heart

 

I don’t want to believe that you're leaving anytime soon

That as soon as your cup is empty, you’ll crush up the container and toss it away

Instead of re-filling it

 

Let me be enough to wake you in the morning

Let my scent be what draws you out of bed

Let my taste be what you crave as the sun rises

 

I'm never tired of you

Your addiction to addiction is something of a story

And no matter how many pages I turn I fear it's coming to an end

 

Not to your narrative, but to my section in them

 

Your as addicted to me like you are to coffee

 

Am I just a buzz to you?

A quick fix to spiral your brain out of its morning haze

Can I be more?

Like your paintings that you take so much time for

Let me be your art

 

Hang me out to dry

But don’t forget about me

And just like your black coffee

I’ll leave a taste behind you’ll always crave

And I'll become

Your addiction

I like how you compared coffee and lovers. That's very creative and totally something I would never be able to think of. Great job :)
