—a nutty comfort that forgets itself before you even swallow
It smelled of sweet, it poured out light,
A toasted note that felt polite.
You drank it down, you felt a glow,
But ask you now, you wouldn’t know.
The flavor thin, the echo faint,
A sip erased like wet paint.
It promised care, it promised cheer,
But vanished fast, as if not here.
No depth to find, no strength to keep,
A drink that whispered into sleep.
You held the cup, forgot the taste.
A fleeting hug, a hollow waste.
It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t more.
It left no mark, just blank décor.
📜 Almond Amnesia – The Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1½ oz Espresso (a memory trying to stick)
- 6 oz Steamed Almond Milk (thin, forgettable, polite)
- ½ oz Amaretto Syrup (nostalgia in sugar’s costume)
- Garnish: Crushed almond dust—barely noticeable, already gone
Instructions:
Pull espresso into a latte cup. Add steamed almond milk and amaretto syrup. Dust lightly with almond crumbs and don’t expect them to matter. Serve warm, sip once, then forget why you ordered it.
