Process(ed) Addiction

Coffee can be addictive.

Like you, and you, just like my coffee,

Is just as bitter as the after taste of cocaine in my teeth

From yesterday’s binge.

Just as my tongue finally regains function,

You cut my words off like the bricks I weighed

On nights like this.

With no filter or artificial sweeteners,

As black as my dilated pupils;

Staining the back of my skull.
