i still believed you
as the street lights
became scenes in stained glass
upon the concrete
torrent tears, rain and memories
form a parade along heavily
littered street gutters
a flick of ashes left for each bruise
painted on by the enemy
tattooed by the dearest friend
the truth lies in the shards of glass
you left behind the bar on seventh avenue
a trail of tears, ash and blood
burns holes in the street lamp stained glass
i still believed you
as i washed the blood stains from my sheets
i can still see an image of you
staring through the shards behind the bar
that will be swept away in the morning
lost.

That's very well-described, u paint a good picture. I love the stoned and resigned tone of it.
