The coffee brews

And you know just by the smell

what I’m going through

Drawing warmth through lips slightly patent

The caffeine keeps me waking

Justifies the shaking

Over you

 

One round pill 

to stop the shaking

A shot of booze to stop the aching

The song timed to the beating of my heart

Precarious rhythm bound to stop 

Here I am sitting all alone

In the dark

 

Six bronze strings

With too much tension 

Needing relief and the action is low

An anticipated note resonates through

The vibration stirs deep inside

Fretting down you close your eyes

Imagining your hands on me

Vibrato

 

In a room

Some distance away 

Not privy to the sound you play

Unaware of the notes lofting in the air 

There lies a girl, unamused by the start of the day

Too numb to feel, too sad to sing

She takes her coffee

Black
