broken bottles

by Bobbie - Scorpio

you lied to me
parted your lips
so you could at least
tempt your tongue 
with the taste
sip away the sweet
tears of fate
i'd left lying 
for you to collect
in your broken bottle
saturate the cool dry
of the glass
at the window, at the door
swing at ambivalence once more
while it cracks and splits
like ancient cement sidewalks
bottles held together
in fragile disarray
fictitious smiles through blinding tears
and all i'd like to do is comfort you
while you sing and while 
you sway
i'd like to be that
sweet surrender you
aim to find
instead, i take your
broken bottles
in my fists and
smash them violently
to the floor
lash angrily at you
with blood smeared hands
i loved you once
but you kept coming up empty
while searching for love
in those broken bottles
and your journey for
sanctity can be my
insanity no longer....

Reason for writing:

    i fell for someone and then realized that they could never feel the same way being depressed and alcoholic.
