From Two Cups

I used to buy each of us coffee,

But now, my wallet will thank me,

As I remain half-empty,

I stare at my foam art,

Missing a huge part,

Of my weak heart,

From two cups,

To once,

Loved.

    I loved this; with or without "enough".

    Paul caught it... And I'm admitting now that I'm glad you did not write about two girls with one cup... 😳

  • Excellent take on the challenge and I agree with Paul

    This is beautiful and a unique take on the challenge and a break-up. Take or leave the little editing advice - enough is 2 syllables. Apart from that though, it is stunning!
