The Coffee's Too Cold

What do you do when the coffee's too cold to drink
And the time drags by too slowly to care?
Dreams slip away from us, just as people do
It's life, it's life, it's just life
But...it sucks, ok?
And sometimes it's good to say that, to be honest
To scream out loud, instead of in silence
Still, sometimes the coffee's too cold to drink...
The world may end, but only in your mind
Your steps may falter, but only you can fall
Nothing simple can take away heartache
Just as nothing simple can cause it
But, I don't believe in simplicity anyway
Perhaps that is because I have never known it
I am Queen of complexities, being complex myself
(As are most people)
I've grown accustomed to having very complex relationships
But, as I said before, I don't believe in simplicity
And sometimes, the coffee's too cold to drink...
Love buds, grows, blooms...dies
You ask: "Is this the end?"
It's been said countless times by an infinity of people
None have answered so far, but I will
And in answering, I say this:
"It is not the end, for nothing ever ends, truly.
For love changes shape, changes hue, and changes intensity
But the essence is still the same."
So, what do you do when the coffee's too cold to drink?
Either you try to warm it up, or you make a new pot...
