Ode To Caffeine

When I first heard of you, I didn't know what to expect  
There were whispers and discussions and yet…  
I was not tempted until that day  
 
You had an accomplice  
He said “why don't you try a dopio?”  
“A dopio?”  
“It's a double shot espresso  
it's the only way I keep going for the day  
I'm telling you you're gonna feel things you have never felt before”
 
 
I thought about it and decided  
It's time to stop playing these games and just give you a shot  
I went out and paid and had you in my hands  
 
I still looked at you with trepidation  
but it's time that this body of mine  
Give in to this anticipation  
 
I took you down in one swallow  
Because I'm good like that  
At least I thought I was good like that  
Until you decided to kick back  
 
My world was opened with the eyes a glaze  
Ran through my work as if my ass was ablaze  
from that day on I was hooked  
It's gotten so bad  
they got my name on the books  
 
They just see my face and know who I'm there for  
Caffeine, oh caffeine.  
 Why couldn't you just let me walk out the door  
 
We had our fights and disagreements you see  
There was times I couldn't even open an eye’s from the wallop you gave me  
But I keep coming back wanting the punishment you dole out  
I'm thinking all these thoughts while I'm swishing you in my mouth  
“to be continued”
