Coffee In The Kitchen
Oh damn.
Love's had her way with you
that's for sure.
A man doesn't get that look in his eyes
unless a woman is involved.
Cocky grin, and cocksure stride
still don't cover what's inside.
So sit down dear.
The coffee is hot and dark
and some sugar will calm the bitter
at least in your cup.
They say I have wide shoulders for a woman
and someone else's load
is never quite as heavy as your own.
And when you're done talking
I will tell you my own sad tale of woe,
and morning will find us
in my kitchen
trashing love for the cheap trick
in a shiny red dress
that she can be
just after a heart gets razored.
