strong black coffee with a splash of milk take it or leave it

i am a strong black coffee with a splash of milk

just enough to take the edge

no sugar, no honey to mask the bitterness

roasting gives me rich aroma

isn't that why you came for?

i'm not some watered down instant coffee

you can just grab 'n go

i'm not your syrupy Starbucks venti or grande

you can adjust for every occasion

i'm here to remind you of the feeling of being alive

as i flow through your veins

you can love me or hate me

but you'll always remember my taste
