I started writing a poem about them And the beginning sounded like ours The one where I told you that Words aren't enough to define us And yes words are limiting But They also have a way of telling you more If you pay close enough attention When "I love you endlessly" Turns to "ILY" and "I can't imagine my life without you" Turns to weeks of sitting alone And all the "I miss you"s Turn to "how are you"s As if you even cared Your actions never matched your language Were your words too limiting for you? When I was still always there for you And all you did was break promises? Were the words you spoke too constricting? At least that would explain why you broke them Though still not why you said them Maybe you were afraid to let me down Or afraid to really be seen Or just so self-absorbed that you didn't care That you couldn't care About yourself Or about me
