I simply want to be, continued

I simply want to be

The addiction

She indulges in

To endure her workload

She leaves

But only temporarily

I want her to return

To need me

Love me when I'm warm

Cringe when I'm bitter

But deal with me anyways

She knows it's worth it

In the end

And when she thinks she's had enough

She reaches for another cup

And when she reaches

for another cup

she’s reminded just why

she’s addicted

I kiss her nose

I’m getting close to her lips

it all comes back

to her

the adrenaline and her heart pounding

all she needs is an hour’s break

to feel me missing

she burns her tongue

and curses loudly

but that will only

make her want me more

and realize how good it really is

when she slows down

and savours the aroma
