Coffee Shop

Sit

- I think you need to
breathe and open your
ears
Drink
- That cup of coffee
isn't getting any
warmer

It's not easy for me
It's not easy for you
I hate admitting it
You hate saying it
It's the truth

Take
- These photographs
are fading reminders of
me
See
- This is what I mean
by the end of it
all

I see it in my reflection
You see it in my eyes
It scares me
It bothers you
It's the truth

And I'm sorry

Such a Pretty Ribbon

Let me unwind
Like a velvet ribbon
and leave me a pile upon the dusted
wooden floors
It's okay
I'm still
breathing
I'm still
alive
Just take heed
not to trip over me
or else you'll be
pulled down
too
