Morn's Coffee Will Taste of My Tears

Morn's Coffee Will Taste Of My Tears

If you have left me say it plain
some deep cut hearts can't stand the strain.
If dawn shines and you are not here
morn's coffee will taste of my tears.

I'll not beg you back, not my style
I will deeply mourn little while.
Strap on my boots, in dark world go
embrace sorrows I've come to know.

If you ask forgive, try again
I will say no and say amen
Let your past forever be gone
I'll chew my cud and live alone.

When we both die, again we meet.
I will pray not your soul to greet.

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 8/6/2018 3:37:00 PM Once trust has been lost completely there is no going back. My ex wanted me back but that ship sailed long ago. I have a faithful man in my life now I can trust. I completely relate to your insightful poem Robert. Beautifully written! ;-) Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 8/7/2018 4:39:00 AM Thanks my dear friend. I went through the bad results of having two ex-wives that cheated. I now have a beautiful wife of fourteen years, absolutely one hundred percent faithful. Glad to hear that you found your faithful soulmate as well.

Tom Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 8/6/2018 6:43:00 AM Thank you my friend. I write from memory about old wounds, and this dark world often. We are a product of our past life lived.
