honey for my tea

I never liked my love over easy
Yellow yolk sunlight, too messy
But at least with sunny side up,
we're both just as done - no one sided feelings
I can afford to be greedy, I'd devour you if I could

I could say I've always preferred -
Just a cup of piping hot tea, black or earl grey
Takes a gentle touch to get it just right
But regardless, I lift it to my lips too early, scalding
Won't kiss again for a few more sunrises, so stay for the night

Don't know what it is with you
It's too gentle, I can't trust it
Last time we were together, you bent down
to clean the muck from my platform shoes,
and it felt like a moment of worship

If these are my mornings now,
how blessed am I?
I take my breakfast savory, and yours sweet
Got me asking for honey for my tea
Grown too comfortable, my blade dull, strangely happy
