Poetry: Empty and full

by Caroline Garlick

Created on: July 09, 2010

My glass was empty

Of wisdom, and hindsight, and experience

But full

Of life, and love, and hope, and faith

My glass was empty

Of doubt, and bitterness, and pain

But full

Of childish dreams and future plans

You joined me at the table

And spilled my sweet nectar

It fizzed and frothed and bubbled as it dripped to the floor

You apologised

And topped up my glass with your own, poisonous brew.
