\"Half Empty...\"

By Matthew K. Brown

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The glass was half full, But then knocked to the floor, Just another day that I wake up, Wondering what I'm still breathing for. All of my hopes, Spilled across the ground, Everything lost, Not a damn thing found. Your voice I once longed to hear, Your face could not wait to be seen, But now alone I stand in the mirror, Looking back at the depressing me. I loved you! I trusted in you! And like a fool I played the pawn. Gave my heart away! For your gift of pain! Night promises broken by the dawn. So now like a child I run, But with no place to hide, For the beauty that I gave in to, Has left me half empty inside. So tonight again I'll try to sleep, Just to face another tomorrow, And I'll remember yesterday, As I spit at the with arms of open sorrow. Your tears I now long to see, My pain I want you to know, Half empty my soul is bleeding, But why for you I do not know. Written August 29th, 2001 © on Aug 29 2001 03:22 PM PST   0 • 1
