Promising Is Empty
Promising is empty
It’s hollow and dry
My heart is drowning
Because of a guy
My body is swollen
From being so strong
And my mind is ashamed
Just knowing he’s wrong.
My hands are tired
Of wiping my tears
My sanity is cracking
From all of these years
Kisses mean nothing
If love doesn’t send to my lips
Pain shivers through me
From my head to my hips
I’m hiding in darkness
Not ready to leave
As soon as I’m out
There’s a trick up his sleeve
I wonder if happiness
Is reality or from fear
Because I’m dodging
What I don’t want to hear
And though I deny it
The wrongs always clear
My nose is tired of sniffling
My fingers are tired of writing
My hearts tired of breaking
My souls tired of fighting
My reflection hates me
For what I’m putting it through
And I’d ask her to help me
If she knew what to do
I could burn in a fire
I could fall off a bridge
And it still wouldn’t top
The pain that I’m in
I don’t want remorse
I don’t need promises
I just want sincerity
And some of my wishes
So my back is sore from sitting
Waiting for his call
My hopes are up from waiting
Hoping he’s coming down the hall
My head is hanging heavy
And my feet drag across the floor
All I can really say
Is that I can’t take it anymore.
