Lemon Tea

Lemon Tea

A Poem by mae23

My teabag bleeds into the water as steam rises from my cup.
Color seeps into the water
dyeing the clear a brilliant red.
And as the drink becomes a work of art,
the teabag shrivels up,
having lost its essence.
The teabag has given its everything,
its life
to the water.
Expecting nothing in return.
