The Coffee Ring

I.

Please
Take my anguish
Take my solitude
Take my fear
…buy yourself a mirror….

Didn’t you see the same thing as me?
I’m just looking…
…for something to make me complete.

There’s a(coffee)stain in a state of mind
There’s a feeling that won’t be denied
And even if I tried, I could not hide
The things that lurk deep down inside

Deep down Inside the empty hole
So full of nothing, so empty of anything
I’ve recoiled violently from this terrible sting

II.

I eye the coffee ring on the table
The mind it wanders
The Man he ponders…

Is it? Is it not?
I don’t know love
But love knows me
What does it mean?

What does anything mean really…


III.

There are different kinds of love
The kind that is pursued, and the kind that’s already there
The pursuit has not come to an end
I search and search again

Where are you now?
I wish you could help me
Help me know how to begin the pursuit
You taught me everything I needed to know

The love that mattered most…
Is the love I lost a long time ago...
