Glass of Tears





I checked in a hotel

got me a room

but no matter where i go

heartache followed and so did you

Some one out there knows how It feels

yet I know that its real

I grabbed my bag, my wallet and phone

tonight I drink all alone

I ordered a vodka a whiskey or two

I dialed your numbers hoping its you

we talked abit

you said dont drink

i slowly sipped

i needed to think

your words echoed as i drank

but you didnt know tears sank

I wiped them away

i began to talk

blurred i know..

so i started to walk

my glass laid empty

but my tears were full

I closed my phone and sat there still

wondering if I should refill

here in the bar

patrons galore

guys all drunk

flirting with whores

Everyone has a heartache to tell

but all they have here

is booze to sell

I picked up my glass to order a beer

and as he took it

I saw my tears

I ordered more and sat in the dark

no one noticed in the garden bar park

I drank my vodka my whiskey and beer

but my glass kept filling with my tears

I checked my watch

12-01 is the time

not once he said. "Happy Valentines"

nothing said... he didnt care

so i ordered me another beer

I drank my vodka my whiskey too

And the last thing I remembered

were my tears and you

That's really powerful! I

That's really powerful! I felt sad for the girl, and wanted to be able to find her and tell her that it's okay. Great write!

That girl came through that

That girl came through that ok tho it took awhile - in the end I walked away I guess the alcohol that valentine night influenced my decision. thanks for the comment

very powerful
an intense view of despair from the "bottom" of an empty glass
these line said it all

my glass laid empty
but my tears were full
keep writing
peace
