I had coffee around seven
For a moment, it was heaven
But now it is eleven
And I cannot fall asleep
I think it’s caffeine that keeps
Me up because not a peep
Sounds from the folks upstairs
Who never really care
To sort out their affairs
With little to no noise
And their two little boys
Are always dragging toys
All over the floor
I cannot take it anymore
My partner also snores
Like an end-of-the-world earthquake
Keeping me awake
Dreading the daybreak
I will not have much brainpower
Even thinking about tomorrow
Living with the time I borrowed
Damn you, coffee, why’d I have you
Warm and bitter, such a nice brew
But not worth it if I have to
Be exhausted the next day
