How Tea Tastes in November

Sweet tea when I’m lonely

Having nothing to do 

Having nowhere to be 

Yet sitting in the car

Watching the silence of the world

Conversing, I go unheard


Sweet tea at home 

A jug sitting in the fridge, untouched

Like it was left just for me

Waiting for no one to walk in

Because the comfort of family

Is out, still stuck in reality


But back in November 

You would always say

That the demons I was fighting

Could never push you away

You were always there for me

Back when sweet tea wasn’t lonely 


So now when I drink sweet tea,

Sometimes I forget we’re strangers.
