Coffee Stains
.
Today I spill over, having already filled
Your cup. And you're upset because it left a mark.
Once crisp and white now brown, bleeding at the edges,
Spreading like a sickness, like this sickness in me.
.
You should be pleased, really. With just a little bleach,
You wash out the colour. But I'm still infected.
I can feel it crawling into my every movement.
I can feel you see it. Oh, what a stubborn stain.
.
You don't want to see it, you don't want to face it,
But I can't set you free from inflamed, blinding pink.
It's when it comes to you and it's just always you.
I give you what you need, you just don't want to need.
.
So I'll launder your shirt, return it perfectly,
Take it all back again. It was a step too far.
I have let this heart bleed directly over you.
At least you can wash it away. I'm still bleeding.
.
I can pretend that I can't see the blood dripping.
Can you pretend that you don't feel your heart ripping?
Today, I am overflow from your coffee cup.
It's just another thing that I have to clean up.
A/N: My adorable grandma downloaded Whatsapp to send my siblings and I Valentine's day messages, so I have to share some love today. This is inspired by The Core of It - the episode with the frozen assets and the pink dress. And for those waiting, Always Truth is almost ready :)
