Stained Glass Window

by Jeff Cash

I sit silent, my only color

Is the coffee stain around my rim

Broken handle, I'm worn away

Time and time again

I fall to the ground, my broken pieces

Are swept up in a dusting pan

This falling down, it feels so useless

You'll never drink from me again

Oh I wish I could be

Thrown back into the fire once more

And I wish I could be

Melted into a stained glass window

I glue myself together, but looking in the mirror

My reflection shows the same disgrace

Broken like a beggar on Christmas day

Thrown out and thrown away

And I melt away

Oh I wish I could be

Thrown back into the fire once more

And I wish I could be

Melted into a stained glass window
