Cold Coffee and Green Tea
I wrote for the voices who were too busy to even scream
Drinking cold coffee and green tea,
anything to keep myself awake
through the night
is all I can give you
every night for the past nine months
I had stayed awake for you
wide awake as you lay there, motionless,
for the past nine months
feeling hallow,
filled to the brim with cold coffee and green tea
as each date passes,
you seem duller in those white sheets, my darling
I listen to your breathing,
each one seems like the last
not knowing if you will be gone tonight or midnight tomorrow
I'm drinking cold coffee and green tea to stay awake,
to be by your side
for your last waking moments
for the last time you breath
till your fragile heart stop beating
and your lungs to stop breathing
I'll stay by your side
armed with caffeine and chained to your bedside
Drinking cold coffee and green tea
