More in trying to apologize

what i feel

...

when you dismiss my feelings
i  remember the glass
i used this morning to drink my pomegranate juice

too small,
too full
and then
down my front
a stain
that will never come out.

“Juice glass” sounds awkward, and is unnecessary given the repetition of “juice” in the next line. Also, I think “remember” or even “I think of the glass” would work better than “am reminded”.
The 2nd. stanza is a contrast – succinct and ironic. The differing pacing of the two strophes packs a punch, adding to the expression of anger.
