i've tried to move on from you / but i see the coffee stain you left on my counter/ as a constant reminder of what once was / and what could have been, in another life /
the love you gave left scars on my heart / like the stain you left on my countertop / a brown heartbreak maiming the granite stone / i never quite liked that counter, but now / now i can't bring myself to replace it / because replacing it is replacing you / and i dare say i would miss that coffee stain /
the memories cut deep into my skin / and the feelings of regret i have still linger / regret at the last words i said to you / too harsh to repeat, too cruel to forget / where were you driving that night? / anywhere, just to get away from me? /
i threw out that phone the police called me on / but i can't get a new countertop / because then i lose that coffee stain / because then i lose the last memory of you /
Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong. — Neil Gaiman
