Ordering at a Nearby Coffee Shop

pretty boy behind the counter
how do you keep that smile on your lips
this is our usual encounter
you look at me, it’s a lunar eclipse
your eyes glitter like the stars
oh so beautiful stars
my name you scribble in fancy writing
you ask me what i’m thinking
oh pretty boy get on with it
this flowery café romance
is exactly what it isn’t
make my coffee, that’s your chance
brew the beans bitter and black
pour over ice, cold is life lack
that’s how i like my drink, boy you should know
like my heart and soul it is
that’s how i am, what life i forgo
off to the beaten streets
