The empty bottle

By Michelle Morris
The empty bottle stares at him
It has nothing left to give
Yet despite all it's giving
It's taken so much from him

Self-respect and sobriety
Reputation and memories
He's had to claw back each time
From the blackness that it leaves

Becoming a small-town cop
Gives focus to his days
But every night holds memories
Of his ex wife's betrayals

All the cases he couldn't solve
All the bones and scattered hearts
He brought the ghosts with him
When he chose his brand new start

Every case becomes a mission
Being Chief a big responsibility
His dog the only companion
For a life of determined meaning

That empty bottle will keep staring
He'll focus on healing his soul
Helping find justice and honour
For the ones he helps make whole
