Empty Bottle
Empty Bottle,
A bare emerald glaze,
Empty Bottle,
Only full in thoughtful ways,
Once full,
Full of wine,
Full of life,
Full of soul,
Full of expectation.
Empty Bottle,
Only a few last drops remain,
A few last drops of hope,
Hope that you'll heal the pain,
And wash me out,
Replenish my Earth like the rain.
Empty Bottle,
I hoped you would drown my sorrows,
And help me cope with shit,
Instead you left me empty,
Just like you,
With just a few drops left,
Barely enough to take a breath.
Empty Bottle,
Ain't just empty,
You're deep and dark, like a black hole,
Empty Bottle,
Ain't just empty,
You're a mirror image of my soul.
