Living through the amber stained shot-glass
Living through the amber stained shot-glass...
I never thought a person could get lost in a space so small...
But I loved someone who learned that the bottom was as bottomless as a well.
That sent him to a place...
like, well...
Hell.
I never wanted to see it happen to my best and only friend...
But you must understand that the stains on the glass...
Left my blood all over Him and his hands.
Hate him, I can't...
But love is a vague memory...
Because the true living love had been beat out of me.
