coffee creamer

the way i love you hurts

it was when you touched me

with your fingertips i began

to shake but when i touched

you back i bled through my sweater

i never knew why until

my eyes started crying not my tears

but the creamer that sweetened the

bitter coffee taste stained on your lips

those lips that sucked all the goodness

out of my naked body

and left me to dry
