I was there for you early in the morning.
As you rose from your bed in your pink nightgown,
I was being filled with Folgers.
And you would come down and drink from me,
and I'd savor that intoxicating kiss,
that your husband so loves.
You'd take me to the bathroom,
and my contents would steam as you got your shower.
And I'd joyfully wait for another kiss.
And at the end of the day,
you'd rinse me out,
and put me on the counter top.
I'd wait for the next morning with joyful anticipation.
And that's when I felt something cold.
One night, after you went to bed.
I was asleep, when I felt the summer wind,
just after a rainstorm,
carrying with it the sands of time.
It blew me towards the edge of the counter top.
And I looked back on my life.
The addicting aroma of my contents.
The feel of your hands carressing my body.
And just before I shatter, as I fall to the floor,
I remember your kiss.
In the morning you came and swept up my pieces.
And put me in this garbage bag to rot.
Just before your husband takes out the trash,
I look at the counter top.
To find a new coffee mug,
sitting in my place.
Steaming with a full glass of coffee.
I watch you bring it to your lips,
and kiss it so softly,
the way you once did me.
And I feel as if I could cry.
...I love you...
