Coffee

☆Faith☆ (A Series Of Poems)

Hot or iced

Sometimes creamer or cold foam

Dark not light

Cold brew at home

Last semester it was all that entered my system

Stayed awake past 12 a.m.

Friday night do it again

This semester I use it sparingly

It no longer has the same effect

I've gotten used to the jitters

The anxiety that slowly swells

Intrusive thoughts that tug at my shirt

Needing to fill that caffeinated hole

The bitter taste on my lonely lips

The ones that only hold sips of late night beverages

Taking in the sweet aroma

Light ice more volume

The emptiness of my young blood wallet

The addiction feels so good to take in

Feel good for a moment until I'm all out of sips

Only ice remains

Until I drink that too

My cup empty

Like the soul I tend to
