Cup of Coffee

Fingers racing over the buttons as each click is met with a hardened breath.

Waiting for a reply in between cigarettes.

Harsh voices scream inside my head interrupting my insanity.

Phone rings... It's him.

Reaching for the phone attempting to grasp words as i fumble with the buttons.

I hear his voice and i start to shake violently... terrified as he mumbles on and on.

The voices echo as i make my way outside for air.

Hardly breathing, hardly understanding.

Mind races. Speech is short and stammered. 

I'm stuck, I feel alone at first.

Suddenly i'm not afraid, i'm calm and collected and as a matter of fact, a cup of coffee sounds wonderful.
