Rolling Bottle

missing you here by my side, 
having you there in her eyes. 
it just doesn't help me here, 
and I feel I have lied. 
gave you a perception, 
that wasn't too clear. 
and now thats an empty bottle, 
it's rolling down the stairs.

thank you Robert, I meant it as to refer to a past or ending love being as empty as the bottle when it reaches to stair bottom.
