They ruin it with flavored syrup
And poison it with sugar
They water it down with ice
Till you can't taste what's left of itI want it like chocolate
But not because it's mochaI want it like raspberries
But not because you flavored itOccasionally, I want it creamy
But with a fresh taste
No scorched milkI like it bitter too
So they can't ruin itI like the flavor of oranges
And a scent alluding to cardamon
It should remind me of tropical places
with only a taste of itIn the winter, it should smell of apples
And cinnamon
And gingerIn the summer
Citrus
And berries
And the rainI want it black
And strong
And a little sweetI want it fresh
After a long day
Or a big meal
And made just for me

ПоэзияI have a plan for you You'll deal with it all And with the weight of the world on your shoulders you'll face a fall People won't catch you Many times But I'll pray for you They'll come in time
