Coffee

I swallow down my demons like coffee. They keep me up sometimes at night. I have never had someone treat me so good. I've never felt how it would feel to have someone love me right. The way you look me in my eyes I know that you here to stay. I cover myself in your blanket of love. I use it to protect me from this cold bad world. I grind up my issues like coffee beans. They come out smoother and more polished but still they disturb me. I drink them down repeatedly. I have changed drastically because of you. I no longer run from the things I'm afraid of. Even though I am afraid of how much I love you I run towards you. I love running towards you. I collide into your love and things don't seem as bad as they were. I could never really quit drinking coffee. There are enough issues in life to always keep drinking. You have taught me how to sip slowly. It is with your love that I am unbroken. I take sips of you everyday. You are my favorite thing to drink. I fall more in love with you with every sip. I will mourn the day I ever get to my last drip.
