Empty Cup
EMPTY CUP
Oh! Empty cup
On a saucer, you do sit,
All alone
In a cruel, cruel world,
That has made you
Have this feeling of rejection
And made to feel all dirty
And stained and gutted too!
Oh! Empty cup
Not that long ago
Was when sweet lips
Savoured the pleasure
Of the offering you gave,
Because you satisfied,
You warmed,
You imparted
Pure pleasure to the receiver.
Oh! Empty cup,
You gave all of yourself,
You were drained,
You’re all empty now,
You’re all alone
You feel so unwanted
And totally rejected too,
Oh! Empty cup
In a rack with your friends
Until the next time
When you supply the need
Of someone passing by
Who will use you
Who will abuse you,
Then cast you aside
Again and again and again…
