Doppio - Aishah Kazman

In that little cafe by the corner
With neon signs of double espresso
A metaphor to the double trouble
Even the double stalk of orchids
Could not mask the smell of frustration and heartbreak
Lingering from the table by the window

A man with sleek white shirt
A lady with floral pencil dress
A cup of hot long black
A slice of classic cheesecake

Once upon a time
They were lovers
Full of sweetness
And steaming lust
Now has nothing
But hints of bitterness
And bits of regrets 

Nothing can tend these two souls now
Not even a tall glass of mango maracuja
