Cold Commitment
—love chilled to avoid emotional clarity
She said she liked her coffee iced,
As if affection must be spliced.
Brewed slow and dark, then poured on stone,
A bond preserved but not full-grown.
No warmth, no froth, no chance to stir,
Just quiet silence wrapped in blur.
You clinked your glass like something meant,
While wondering where the feelings went.
The sip was clean, the heart was not.
Cold brew, cold words, cold afterthought.
A hint of chocolate, touch of cream,
The taste of someone else’s dream.
📜 Cold Commitment – The Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Cold Brew Concentrate (strong enough to keep secrets)
- 1 oz Coffee Liqueur (for the illusion of depth)
- ½ oz Oat Creamer (because dairy’s too honest)
- Ice cubes (ideally large, slow-melting, and emotionally unavailable)
- Garnish: None, clarity doesn’t come dressed
Instructions:
Build over ice in a rocks glass. Stir briefly, like small talk at the end of something.
Serve without ceremony. Let the condensation do the weeping.
