Unforgiving
bottles broken and empty
just like your promises
emphasis on empty
because that's all that you left me
so for me to fill your cup again, like the fool I am
would forever leave a stain on my honor as an honest man
like planting a seed in a puddle of boiling mud and bubbling concrete
I will no longer feed your hate for me
by being your tree
barren
so you shall receive
an empty plot of land
and eat the tumors we left behind,
blooming with asbestos
and bear the scars meant for me
