Meaningless Promise

by Tammie   May 29, 2007


Empty words promise
Everything and
Nothing.
Spite filled remarks
Meaningless expressions.
You say you don't even know
What you do that hurts me so
Deep within.
Craving the feeling your words
Your sweet, insincere words
Create inside my heart;
Bursting,
Trembling,
Plainly; in love.
Like an innocent little child
With their favorite possession.
The full feeling I never want to
Disappear.
Although,
Deep down,
I know it's artificial.
The everything and nothing
That makes me who I am.
I couldn't live without you,
But,
You're killing me;
Softly,
Slowly,
Silently.
Shattering my heart
Into a million tiny pieces.
You filled me with love,
Lifted me up, just to
Slam me back to the ground,
Again.
Trust, and my heart,
Both given away too
Easily.
Your words; they promised
Everything and
Nothing.
Your promises mean
Nothing.

    I understand what it's like to love somebody so much that it hurts you to be away from them, yet they hurt you so much it's hard to be around them. Another fantastic poem and I did enjoy the free verse style in this one, excellent vocab and imagery. 5/5 GG23
