Caffeine High

By Abyssia

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Ask me to cover my earsIn hopes that I will not hearThe disdain in your voice,Not realizing that it wasNever necessary to begin with -The caffeine in my systemIs too much for my body.My blood pumps, races,Burns, pulsates...Through veins, fingertips,Throat, thoughts -It turns the world on mute.I could try to read your lipsBut you stand on the other sideOf a window tainted To a perfect black....And fogged by the breathOf words unheard.Crapcrapcrap.. but straight from the heart no less.
