after you've left, the coffee still brewing
your home sighs, less burdened, one less person
the shingles whine to the stoic rain
you aimlessly stroll in the drizzling mist
the saying goes ears tingle when you are in another's thoughts, even now you won't know
your kindness reverberates, heart takes it slow
miming the coffee' s drip, what was it that you chose, country roast, a blend
goes down so warm, comforts me to the end
of the night's cold shoulder I gave it all
with you, eerie silence, I am enthralled
by your persistence to bellow in me
I’m filled with the desire to be free
of the brewing, chock-full of night
I take showers in the dark with that night
