At the Bottom of the Glass

A glass stands empty

On the counter top

Around it a forest of bottles

All unopened

You sigh

One by one

Alcohol is mixed

With a precision almost scientific

Liquid falls into the glass

An olive is added

A dainty umbrella

You down the drink

In one gulp

Rinse, repeat

Rinse, repeat

The world blurs

To your alcohol blurred mind

Worries cease to matter

Behind too lucid eyes

The bottles stand

Empty

The glass falls

From slack fingers

And smashes on tile

Your foot cuts

Candy red blood spilling from the wound

But it doesn't matter

Because you still don't cry

What monster are you?

That even all the alcohol

In all of paradox space

Cannot shake a tear

For the death of a mother

Who you did

In truth

Love


This is Rose, attempting to cope after her moms death. I don't think this is how canon Rose would act though...
