i can't remember
what shade of ale
your eyes were
before they went sour
and i don't think i've ever
seen you with a smile
that wasn't made of
shards of bone
just like all the ones you've
snapped and splintered
stuck in a rampage of
blind blurry rage
but your body isn't
all that you've broken
and you've never seemed to care
who shattered along with you
you've mistaken my heart
full of forgiveness
as something that would
always be there
just like i've mistaken you
i've spent years trying
to sift through the fragments
of our relationship
just to end up where i began
with an empty amber bottle
held by broken ****** hands
