I miss your coffee-covered breath,
Early in the morning.
It made me hungrier than death
For a thrill without a warning.
I miss your sweet saliva smell;
I miss your cigarette-stained lips.
Your yellow teeth as well,
And your garbage-covered hips.
I miss your solid-brick bones,
And the places my secrets hide;
Like in that park near the stone
Where my innocence resides.
Why are we apart?
Oh, awful, tragic pity!
The travel broke my heart…
I miss my New York City.
