Walk Away by Ben Harper

hot chocolate

destined
to be alone   i

hold on
to my sanity because
i have to.

i wrap   it up
on cold winter nights

in flannel pajamas
and lady's slippers,
romance
evaporating.

all around me,
two by two,
i watch
them melt

in
tiny marsh
mallow puddles,

(swirling) into each other

like the colors
of a peppermint stick.

i sit here by myself,
alone,
just watching,

the color of dirt.
i am

unmixed cocoa
on top of

the heap...
