You didn’t want my coffee, why so hard to break, the lies I constantly feed, wipe my tears, turn a cheek, make all the wrong arrangements, why are you so sweet, you'd gamble anything, including our days, outside a calendar sheet, your Ma crawled from Sicily, to Naples in her day, for heaven on her knees, am I lucky or just weak, seeing a life in your gaze, oranges and uncertainty, you always try to please, I’m cigarette smoking grey, maybe yours is inner ease, I’ve never been that way.
