Look closely at my reflection

In the amber colored liquid

Do you see me?

You poured me, into your glass

Smelled the whiskey of my breath

Tasted the burning of my heart

Swallowed the essence, of my soul

Left me to linger, age,

Days, nights,

Finally forgotten,

Ice melted, glass cracked,

And me, ever slowly

Seeped, into the emptiness

Drowned in your sorrows
