My Heart
Half empty or half full?
You stare at the glass of liquid and
Your watery reflection
wide eyed,
searching
stares right back.

The hardness of the glass,
Cool to the touch,
Yet inside the smooth liquid warmed by the sunlight
runs over your lips,
Is this right?

Your mouth is dry,
You drink some more,
You start to cry,
Are you sure?

The waters trapped it can't escape
Unless you set it free
It's your choice.

You drink it all,
It's all inside,
Hidden away from prying eyes,
The cup is dry.
