*by Annabella Dlugi*

They say that coffee stains your teeth  
The acid lingers, turning them yellow  
It stays, long after the coffee itself is gone

Can the same be applied to love? To home?  
What lingers on after some thing, or some time, or some one, is lost?

Does the losing leave a mark?  
A stain on the inside,  
A tattooed reminder  
On the enamel of my heart.
