Cold Coffee

Brewed myself a morning dream. Strong and black, no sugar, no cream. Walked away to chase the sun. Came back and it was all undone. Cup still full but cold as stone. Like my voice when I'm alone. Heat don’t wait, it fades too fast. Guess I left my spark in the past. Cold coffee, Left on the stove. Like the love, I forgot to hold. I still sip it, Just to know. How warm I used to Glow. Thought it'd last through morning light. But even hope cools overnight. Still I drink it though it's gone. Just to prove I carry on. Cold coffee, Shadow of flame. Once burned bold, Now not the same. I don't stir, I don't sweeten lies. I just swallow What time denies. Brewed myself a morning dream. Now it's cold like me.
