The Color of Loneliness.A Poem by mess of gorgeous chaos
I remember that moment well
when the tears felt like they were melting my skin The letter from you: spread out in front of me on the table Me: rereading it over and over, burning hot tears flowing I could still hear you in my head as I read each word Your handwriting was so familiar that it gave me chills But with weak hands and blurry vision, the cup I attempted to grab knocked on its side, quick to say goodbye to the coffee inside Before I could stop the spill the nearly black puddle swallowed your lines of ink in seconds and soon the whole paper was the color of coffee beans Coffee beans- the color of loneliness Coffee beans- the color of "my life is a mess" I think it was kind of like a metaphor for how the darkness consumed me after you were gone just as quickly as the drink enveloped the entirety of the paper But I wasn't even quite sure if it was a metaphor because quite frankly it was difficult to think about anything at all Plus, if I pondered too hard I'd probably convince myself it was true And then even coffee would remind me of you
