Coffee

Coffee tastes like guilt
But it's so hot, it melts away the layers of belief
Until I see them standing naked
Fraudulent and faking, lying through ugly teeth and laughing
Coffee thick as silt
Been sitting
Cooled off, ears ringing, short nap
Been waiting to understand so long
That it's twice as strong in half the dose
Coffee tastes like guilt and stings the tongue of the liar
Who professed to be able to afford it and not to need it
Even decaf leaves something filled
And I wonder if I really love it or if I just want to consume
I wonder if I really love at all or if I just want to consume
And I wonder if my thoughts look dark to you
Dark as coffee
Thick as silt
