Dirty dishes in the sink you left too many cracks in the glass plates. Too many glasses have been dropped on their way to the cupboard and your dirty dishes keep piling up. Some shattered and some chipped. Dirty dishes in the sink the water is only lukewarm and the soap has grown stale. Salty water, salty tears, dirty dishes in the sink you were never much for doing chores. You could never recognize the difference between your mothers fine china and plastic plates; some things never change.  You still don't know the value between the two, trash and glass are all treated the same by you. Dirty dishes in the sink you were never much for cleaning up after your messes. Maybe it's your hobby. To collect pretty things and leave them unattended, letting grime fill in their cracks until they're not so pretty anymore. Dirty dishes in the sink can't you see what you use to have? Don't you remember what you had before the cracks formed and dirt collected? But you have no use for anything without beauty, so the dishes will only pile up, threatening to topple over the already overflowing sink. Dirty dishes in the sink can't you just grow up and take responsibility for the cracks?
