What is left of me: Broken dishes in a ***** sink after a night I can’t remember; A foot print in the mud; Sweat soaked sheets no one will think to wash for weeks. Physical things; things you can touch and feel and tear. It was different before: Once I was elaborate and abstract; refined and polished to a dull shine; Held up to the light, each angle would fascinate. Now I smoke and drink tequila straight from an old jar with the label torn off; This is what is left of me.

After All
What is left of me: Broken dishes in a ***** sink after a night I can’t remember; A foot print in the mud; Sweat soaked sheets no one will think to wash for weeks. Physical things; things you can touch and feel and tear. It was different before: Once I was elaborate and abstract; refined and polished to a dull shine; Held up to the light, each angle would fascinate. Now I smoke and drink tequila straight from an old jar with the label torn off; This is what is left of me.
