Meaningless *** says "I love you"
Cigarettes say "I'm with you til death"
******* says "I'll bring you up"
Alcohol says "Baby, just rest."
Gossip says "You're accepted"
Apathy beats empathy in battle of wits
All these things
They comfort me
Because you never did.
I actually wrote this poem over a decade ago in college. I hesitated to post for a while because I don't personally relate to the poem anymore. However, it's a part of me and my past and it's possibly a feeling someone else might share...
It's cliche, but things Do get better. Xo.
