story of a lonesome waitress

and they pour into the diner
one after another
like akward punctuation in the paragraph of life
interrupting my daydreams of love
demanding coffee and entertaining stories
the longing for you is deeper
and darker than my apron pockets
is five bucks on a table worth it?
not today it isn't
no big tipper can pacify me
even when i can't count the bills
and the compliments of my eyes
your cup is the only one i want to fill
