slurp, sip, gult, I care not
Drink! Drink from the cup of sorrow
let no words be spoken
Stare at the broken reflection
and admire its ability to wash our minds
    of those hundreds, thousands, endless troubles
wonder what dwells in the drain,
    now my soul is empty.

Ruby blood, ruby liquid!
splash, down the cup
splash, down my fall

The murky stains of trouble still taint
    the ruby liquid in the depths of
 my heart

A very strong poem. Good use of onomatopoeia and imagery. :)
