don't play the heavy with me

don't play the heavy with me
be kind, have a heart
how easily you shut the door
you light a cigarette
and puff out smoke
like ribbons in the air
that tease in intricate spirals
and dissipate like a dream
what do you see
in that cup of coffee
what plots do you stir with the spoon
how much sugar and cream
to sweeten the bitterness
to lighten the darkness
remember, you used to love me
things change - i know that now
but don't play the heavy with me
be kind, have a heart
how easily you shut the door
you light a cigarette
and puff out smoke
like ribbons in the air
that tease in intricate spirals
and dissipate like a dream
what do you see
in that cup of coffee
what plots do you stir with the spoon
how much sugar and cream
to sweeten the bitterness
to lighten the darkness
remember, you used to love me
things change - i know that now
but don't play the heavy with me
