Broken Glass

You poured a glass of your sweet love I knocked it to the ground A heart shaped vessel in many pieces Now you're nowhere to be found All that can be seen is a lonely stain When I realize it makes me sick I clutch my chest fall to all fours Then I give the ground a lick The taste has been soured It was my mistake to let love pass Still I choose to lick the ground Feeling the pain from the glass Blood drips from my mouth It tingles with the pain I've learned loves lesson I will never waste it again What I would like to Forget Contest
