Crying In My Coffee

Folder: 
Pain/Ilness

I sat leaning over my cup

hands curled around  its sides

to catch the warmth

tears of frustration, pain

made their way down my cheeks

I heard a tiny drop fall with

a little splashing drip

into my coffee

rippling the flat mocha colored surface

it made me grin at the irony...

I can't even cry in a beer

thanks to all the medications I must take.
