Throwback Thursday Poetry: Void

The bottle on the table looks empty. 
It has residue of what was inside before 
But most of that is gone now. 

The bottle is getting old. 
The longer it sits on the table 
the more the weather takes its tole. 

The bottle looks beaten. 
The markings on the outside show 
misuse and torture. 

But the bottle lives on. 
Still able to function in full capacity 
the bottle will be filled again.
