Iced Coffee

My ex brought me some breakfast burrito and an iced coffee

He thinks of me sporadically

Its better than not at all I guess

Am I blessed

Is this another scam in the end

He says still no matter what after five years we still connect

Yet he is still my ex

Because he can’t shake off his complicated mess

I feel eternally woven in his web

I cant break free

I try and try

I miss him and he miss me

We are dumb or just out of luck

but its love no matter what

5 years dont last on lust

i cant tell the difference

I can’t deny being with him is not a complete loss of happiness

Today we remember and memorialize

All the old and new lives

Who were brave enough to endure the fight

So what I am living I know what kills me makes me come alive

He slays me with his kissing

The jungle is filled with snakes hissing

I cling to His hand but sometimes I end up missing

What we have together is bullshit

I can’t seem to stop it

even though I have tried

I tried and tried

Nothing erases the truth

i belong with you

you belong with me

we are infinity

i see the meaning of our poetry

there the message lies at the bottom of the plastic cup of mcd’s iced coffee

Brilliant raw love ❤️ even love stroke hate poem !
Sometimes love hate relationship do survive
I know I’m in one
We go two weeks great then one huge fight hate for two days hardly talking looking then it’s over we talk again
It’s been like this a while
The isolation of covid can either make or break relationship
I love the reference to Ice coffee and the last 2 lines pure brilliance!
Well done

Oh, my gosh I absolutely ADORE this. The longing, the coffee, the love, the angst, all of it. The rhyming, it's just such a poem I would love and adore. This is like the perfect poem and I have to say, I love little details, such as naming off exactly what kind of coffee it is, where it's from. It adds little touches of flavor and personality to the writing and though many complain that stuff is pointless, I say it adds that much more. Definitely going in my favorites. (: Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
