Coffee And Heartbreak

[zephyr]

Let’s have one last cup of coffee before we have to part

A lit and un-smoked cigarette smoulders in the dark

Emotions well up inside me don’t want to face my fears

One last cup of coffee won’t help to drown my tears

 

The cigarette’s burnt out now and you have gone away

We tried to talk things through but we had nothing left to say

I swallowed hard to stop the pain as you walked out through the door

The coffee cold and untouched sits where you left it on the floor

 

The smell of your perfume still lingers in the air

I long for the feeling as I sat and stroked your hair

Curled up close together two people almost one

Now there’s only loneliness, now that you are gone

 

So one more cup of coffee and one more cigarette

One more day of living without the love I can’t forget
