Empty
when you put
me down

no room
in your glass
for me

cigarettes and alcohol

quench your lazy thirst.

Full
when I realise
I can be

the water
for someone
some day

that they cannot live without.

gemma?

you are the water . . .
either way you look at the glass
I do not see how anyone could
possibly live without you and if they do
then they are truly thirsting . . .

Not you

I loved how you presented this
amazing  . . . God
brilliant gem

Ya know what? That "other" guy must be crazy, not to realize what he's letting get away. Doesn't he know that he truly had a "gem" in you? Send him that poem I wrote for you and he'll how much we think of you, little lady.  
Hugs to you my friend
