An empty jar...
Once upon a time, I was a jar full of water,
But I have been emptied.
I gave myself up for the thirsty ones
And as they picked me up,
I've been emptied all at once.

Their thirst disappeared, but I am empty now
And now my shattered pieces are lying on the ground
I'm just a useless, broken piece of glass.

Or so I thought, as the days have passed.
Suddenly, all alone, abandoned in the dessert,
I saw a cloud of water along with stormy weather
I smiled inside, as my hopes went up,
I wished so hard for it to fill me up.

I looked at the sky, as it cried with rain
it flooded my jar and washed away my pain
but then I realized - I am a broken glass
but it has been too late, I felt water flowing out of the cracks
And I've been emptied once again at once.

And here I am - a broken, empty jar
there's nothing I have found,
which would have patched me up.
