The “I love you’s” are all empty
I hate to have to say
Meaningless phrases to represent the bond we once had
I used to hear “I love you’s”
in every word you said
But now in your endless banter,
every word is dead.
So why, then, are the words still uttered…
If your empathy for me is
no longer a fluent thought?
If you cut me, then rub in the salt?
If you hurt me, then say it’s my fault?
Oh Time has not spared well for you, Sir;
With the summer heat, so went our flame
And I wish there was no one to blame
For making Me feel ashamed
For not loving Your lover the same
But instead loathing her very name.
And yet I praise you
And I get punished for anything less
Is it wrong to want to feel blessed
With the greatest love and care?
Is it wrong to expect you to be there?
Or want to be there?
I deserve more than this
Especially from you
He who convinced me to tear down my wall
Only to build his up twice as tall
No ending to Agony to forestall
To wish I felt nothing at all
Yet my love for you continues to grow stronger
One kind phrase can keep me going for weeks
To hope it is not all Tongue-and-Cheek
And your love for me really isn’t as meek
As it seems
Quit snubbing my dreams!
of a Love’s Eternity
of a Stable Security
And I know I can find these things
But not with you.
