The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Black Coffee

Black coffee
Dark, impenetrable
Nothing can go through
Watching Kdramas
Getting highs and lows
On the love I'll never have
Lifting the pen
To express the feelings
That seem to be bothering me
For awhile
These headaches
All these dreams
Finding myself crying
Feeling humiliated, torn
Betrayed
By someone I care for
Thinking about others'
Love life
To take my mind off mine
The pathetic, weak,
Confusing, complicated
Love life of mine

'Thinking about others' Love life...... ..., complicated Love life of mine.' Comparing love life is actually 'confusing' and could lead to a heart-break.

That is very true..and I think that is so human of people to do that even though it can hurt themselves.
