Oh C.M.

Love-of-CoffeeOh C.M.

You’re strong,
but sweet.
You lift me up.
You make my heart beat fast…
You gave me sleepless nights.

They say you’re no good for me.
Thus I tried hard to avoid you,
against my will.

I succeeded!!!

But just briefly,
Because one day… that familiar scent,
Shattered the promise I made,
To never fall again under your addicting spell.

So down I went to the coffee shop,
Where I first met you.
I was excited oh C.M.,
To have my soul,
Enslaved again by your fullness…
Twisted by your sweetness.

There in the coffeehouse
I told the server
“C.M. please!”
“And what’s that sir?” She asked.
“Caramel Macchiato!!!” I replied.
