Black coffee

I overlooked the various red flags..

and now..I've come to a screeching halt.

did I not see the approaching dismay?

maybe I did ..

but reality being the sole enemy

I retreated back to my only assurance..Denial.

now,feed on my consequences

face the music

and I'm left to pick up the shattered pieces.

has it become that

even being brought up in a world..

so cold and cut throat,

we never drink it sugar free.
