Tell me you'll stay

Then kiss me goodbye

Meaningless words

Cowardly lies

Dark disappointment

Hardening hearts

Love's not enough

Trust isn't smart

Love everlasting

Disappeared fast

Together forever

Our time has passed

In the beginning,

love conquered all,

dreams were always

in reach,

mirrors reflected true.

Broken promises

and shattered hearts

did not exist.

Now

that's all there is

here

at

the

end.

Goodbye.

My delicately woven glassware orb

fragmented into shards that

pierce hope, stab dreams

blood dripping from fingertips

breaks the silence-

it is all the more painful knowing

it could never be what it was

again

You promised to get better

You said that you would stop

But you didn't

I know you didn't

I saw you yesterday

I saw the powder

I saw the straw

So why did you lie

To count the times you didn't make it, 

I'd run out of numbers. 

Yet, I still wait. 

Any expectation is an expectation too many. 

Yet, I continuously put my faith in you. 

Promise after promise. 

Thank God I have no expectations

of anybody keeping their word.

Not anymore.

Otherwise, I might be 

very disappointed.
