coffee
incomparably
should always be steaming
without its heat
it is an iced treat
never something bare

it shouldn't reamin
too long
shouldn't be standing
before it's gone
a short life
but loved
while it's present

causing the trembles
and the tears
the heat
and hidden fears
to all escape
in beads of sweat
on a forehead

never alone
in a cup
waiting to pick up
some rust
won't you take care
of your stupid
cup then

but it seemed
to remain
unwanted
against the rain
you'll never see that coffee again
it was drained
and now it's dead
