Perfect by Doria Roberts

biscuit

you know
those days

when i looked at you

to feel the sad
behind your eyes

you couldn't communicate with me
and i know
what you would say:

you are like
some body's half drunk tea,

in a cup,

just waiting
for my lips.

you'll burn me.

this i know (for sure),
but some epic hunger

in my soul
reaches out
to grab a hold, anyway.

i tilt my head,
look at you.

did i ever drink before?
no, not this time.

without you, i am
in desperate need
of caffeination.
and love.

always love.
