Walk away, avoid my gaze

Actions speak louder than words

Show we the girl

Who is there for you

These eyes of my stormy grey 

Need to see

This heart that beats

Needs the knife

For it to stop

It's beating for a crush

That has been drowning 

In a cup of coffee filled to the rim

The brown liquid is a slow death

That awaits this heart

Yet for when these eyes see the truth 

So the heart can blow a kiss good-bye 

Towards the cup

Which has drowned it for so long 

My eyes can avoid your gaze 

And these legs can walk away

Since actions speak louder than words

Is someone pining away love in a cup of coffee?? ;) my best lines are
"Need to see
This heart that beats
Needs the knife
For it to stop"
Nice piece but why use "rim" instead of brim? I really love the rhythm of the poem.
