Coffee

Coffee
I need coffee
I need to stay
Stay
Awake
I am a coward
Perhaps but
I can’t
Can’t face
Death that’s
Called
Sleep
I need to keep
Keep my
Eyes
Keep my eyes open
Open in case
Darkness of no return
Shows its face
Face
Face
There was a face
I always longed to see
Now
No not now
There is no now
Now is a moment of yesterday
Once it happens
Now!
It is gone
Like that
Face
Face
I long to see.
Is it madness
What I feel or
Is it
Just
Too much
Coffee.
Collapse
Collapsed
I
No more
Than a
Short
Sentence
Diminished to
Fit a
Meaning of
No
Importance.
Coffee
Coffee
Nectar of
Madness
Slurred
Short sentences
Coffee.
