Glass Half Full

the emptiness closes in
I am a glass half full
until I cry a little more
my emotions shut their door
yet I'm still lying on the floor
"open up!"
I scream
I shout
but there is no doubt
that I will be a glass half empty
until I cry a little more

I pour myself out
into helping you
when your eyes spout
I am the glue
that holds you together
but I ran out
so now I am falling apart too

the glass is chipping
and I am cracking
the shards are shattering
and I am left crashing
harder than I ever have before

the tears flow out like a river of misery
there is no glass to have a mystery
until you be the glue
and pull me back together
because I ran out
helping you
