Coffee and Tears

Blue stars in my coffee

Stirred with a tear

Memories of you beside me

Before there was fear

Morning feels like mourning

Blissful sleep is done

Daybreak brings the heartache

Of knowing you are gone

Laughter in the moonlight

Echoes in my memory

Naked beside you

The only place I wanted to be

But dreams run from daylight

And you from your fears

And so I drink my coffee

Stirred with my tears
