Cold Coffee
We used to meet here over coffee and donuts,
talking and laughing for hours at a time
about nothing in particular.
Now we in silence sit here
and stare at one another
wondering what to say.
We sat so long today
my coffee has grown cold and bitter.
There is nothing left of my donut but crumbs.
Words from yesterday spoken like promises
hold no meaning now
Like strangers we can talk about the weather
or politics or business trends
but there is no emotion.
We used to have passion,
but now we have only dissension.
Most of the time
we do not even smile.
Perhaps I will just finish my coffee
and fold the donut crumbs into my napkin
and go home.
