Words Mean Nothing

And your words, they mean nothing.

You say I’m sorry, but in the end, they

Don’t believe you.

They know you may mean it, but they

Also know that whatever you did, you’ll

Do again.

And you know it.

You know it better than they do. They

Don’t realise that, that is exactly what

Makes you so sorry.

You’ll cry a million tears that they don’t

See, and wish you could double your pain

To ease theirs.

Yes, you’ll do it again, and that’s the only

True time you hate.

You hate yourself because they trusted

You, again and again and again.

You say prayer doesn’t work, but you’ve

Given it up. You can’t remember the last

Time you prayed.

You say there will be better days, and

There will, until you can’t stand the

Weight again.

Then you’ll let your world fall and part of

Theirs with it, saying ‘please, you can’t

See what it’s doing to me.’

Just think what it’s doing to them.

Inside you’ll be screaming how sorry you

Are, while pleading with them to believe

You.

But in the end, your heart is breaking,

And theirs breaking for you.

Because you all know what the word’s

Worth.

Because you all know your words and

They mean nothing.
