The morning was awkward

He put the kettle on,

Though more than coffee was brewing

his cold eyes revealed a glint of retribution with the passing of the cup 

i drank sipping slowly blowing the steam swirls 

pretending the coffee wasn't hindered by the lump of anticipation growing in my throat 

I looked up and found my self more alone than i had ever felt 

his coffee unmade.

As the squealing wheels faded into the distance

The shadow of dread fell.
