heartbreak at teatime

[jeebus13]

Dropping the tea bag
into
and then back out of
the cup,
and watching the water
get darker.

If you meant to destroy me
congratulations.
Your kiss fell on me
like a wad of gum into a sewer.
You stopped my heart
without even a word
and I wasn't supposed to care.

Sip slowly from the brim,
gently place my lips on the warm liquid
and let it slide into my mouth
soundlessly.

When we were finished
you were too drunk and tired
to do anything
but roll over and pass out...
Leaving me to my precious silence.
I had to rearrange my room the next day,
it was so peculiar.

Watch the volume
casually disappear,
like you did in the morning.
Why can't I just let go.
Why does it have to mean something.

They're not questions
because I know the answers,
but they need to be spoken
because I wish I didn't know.

And tomorrow I'll be off.
I'll be early for the airplane
and late for afternoon tea.
Far too late.

choke up buttercup
hot tea firelight
hot tears to god sees
god must or I'll die tonight
choke down lights sound
silent

 

[up all night]

You use such simple words... and yet to met they carry so much emotion. It's the sign of a good writer if you ask me. The tone of this poem perfectly suits my mood tonight.

i will second that.

this part here made me get a lump in my throat as i remember a past relationship and how tedious it was.

When we were finished
you were too drunk and tired
to do anything

Leaving me to my precious silence.
