Empty Promises

You used to hold me in your arms, and say you would never let me go,
You used to kiss my cheek, and say you loved me.
You used to wipe away my tears, and say that you’d always be there for me,
You used to promise me a world, a future, a lifetime together.

I would absorb your lies and my heart would be filled with your empty promises,
I would go home after seeing you and reminisce on the time we had just spent together.
I would ignore all the doubts in my head, stinging me like a disorientated swarm of wasps,
I was blind. Blind, because I loved you, and thought the feeling was mutual.

I thought that you meant what you promised me,
I thought what we had was love.
I was young and immature,
And though I don’t want to, I miss you.

No words can cure a broken heart, unless you say them.
No hugs can make me feel better, unless you deliver them.
No kisses can lift my spirits, unless you mean them.
No one can win my love except you.

It's like I was invented to love you,
We were meant to be together, that's what I thought,
You broke my heart,
I want you back.
But you don’t love me enough... and never will.
