Empty Words

Your words caressed me more then your arms ever did.

Declarations of undying love that never made it past words,

empty words.

Your kisses remained distant, like

you were an ocean away.

I should have known your heart

was never mine.

You claimed to be in love,

you claimed that I'm the one,

but we never made it farther than words

I love you.

But love is such a weak word. People say

I love you to their

middle school crushes.

Love is meaningless.

Just like your words,

Empty words.

Yet I believed,

and you left for another.

My heart is bullet proof, but

it's not missile proof.

You shot me through and now

my heart is ashes.

Goodbye love,

I'll never forget you.

But I know you will me,

because I was never anything to you.
