The coffee seems bittersweet
As you sip it glumly in your seat
You haven’t been yourself as of late
But something doesn’t seem to equate
I try to comfort you
As I walk over to your chair
Despite my woos
You act as if I’m not there
You go about in such a gloom
Was it something I said?
For I almost assume
That you are dead
In a rut
This coldness cuts
With a severity so abrupt
Severing all my needs
I try so hard to relieve
But still the wound won’t bleed
Riding down the street
On a day so bleak
I feel the growing distance
Like a dulling resistance
Is there nothing you can say?
I feel like I’m fading away
As we walk through the grass
The wind sharp and cold
You become more crass
Hearing the thunder roll
Slowly you stop
Eerie feelings come to creep
As to your knees you drop
Openly, you begin to weep
A harsh buzzing in my brain
Like a saw cutting through my head
Standing in the pouring rain
I would never have assumed
That I was dead
As I stare at my tomb
Author notes
enjoy.
