Love

morning coffee 
----------------------------- 
a dip 
into this cup and then a stare 
upon your mocha lips; a sip 
and then a puff, while you are there 
the one with the warm grip 
upon my lungs 
i drift a glance 
and you play your stir 
turning Saturday into a whisper 
your eyes slowly kill me within 
easier than tars and nicotine 
and i can't look away 
a drop 
of nonchalant insanity 
blending with this morning coffee 
while there's still smoke stuck in the air 
before the dawn may flop 
before you're gone 
i drift a glance 
and you kiss the filter 
turning Saturday into a whisper 
your eyes slowly kill me within 
easier than tars and nicotine 
and i can't look away 
even if it burns my tongue 
and you're the last taste that i'll remember 
just before it leaves me numb 
a caffeine kiss in haste, then i'm sober 
so now you look at me and say 
the words so stale yet bittersweet 
and i can't look away 
i can't look away
