#emptypromises
All these promises are said,
But most of them just end up dead.
I wanted nothing more than to be okay,
But the ones I loved continued to walk away.
I'm sorry, was I not good enough?
This life of mine is just so rough.
Can I do anything to make you stay?
Will you take the pain away?
They begin to walk away and fast,
And I realize that love doesn't last.

Come here
Taint me with all
Of the empty promises
You keep stored within
Your eyes
Your heart
And behind
Your lips
Come here
Tell me something that
I may not know
About myself
Because clearly you know me
Better than I do
My fears
My passions
My hopes
And my regrets
Go ahead
Fill my head
With dreams
That you say we
Could share
That we
Could hold
Within a gentle grasp
Go ahead
Crush those dreams
Within your
Deadly clasp
Destroy the
Beauty
That we hoped
Could one day be
The glue
That would hold
Us together

You said you loved me
I believed you
Little did I know that it was just to make me happy
And all the things you did
Was just for show
You never really meant it
Cause it was only those three empty words
I love you

she’d stab
and twist the knife
she’d “clean your teeth”
but make your gums bleed
she’s crickets chirping and ellipses
and that’s how you know
when someone has no love
and it’s always the ones
who once said they don’t want to hurt you
who hurt you the most.
