enmity, coffee, shadow Part 2/2 (Three-Word Prompt challenge)

This life's got *"emnity"* on the label. You put the coins onto the table You stand up, a bit unstable You haven’t answered. Am I able

To let you leave without a word? And up to now, I haven’t heard The answer. I must try to gird

Myself to read between the lines I can’t pretend I’ve missed the signs We pay for errors with great fines

Your *coffee's* empty; my heart’s full My mouth’s filled with cotton wool And rapidly away you pull

Away from me, and from a chance Of ever joining in the dance

Your *shadow* drags across my floor And I won’t see you any more.

All rhymes are fled. Our friendship’s lost.
