The Kettle

Sit at the kindling flame

Relax while I put on the kettle

Allow the orange glow to embrace you

Let it fill you and comfort you

I take the kettle and fill your cup with tea

It provides you with love and peace

You drink from your cup, and the kettle pours more

Continue to drink until the Kettle is empty

The metal turns to ice as it becomes hollow, empty

It is my turn to sit by the kindling flame

But it is too late

You have risen, and turned your back as you walk out the door

Silly me

For thinking that you would fill my cup as well
