Poem
Cold smiles, cadaver touch Whatever love you had for me, now ain’t much My tender heart still not yet tough In-bed pleas to a deaf shoulder get covered with stone silent rebuff You flaunt your affairs openly, with no regard for my feelings You don’t tip up the stairs quietly, or try to hide your indiscreet dealings Empty promises, empty promises Broken vows written in blood Empty promises, empty promises Scarlet cold hearted love You gave me lots of flash photos of hope, as you kept plenty of negatives in the darkroom You whispered a lot of mirrors and smoke, then disappeared into a world of distant, cold gloom Once you got your hands on the joint account, the marital demands didn’t seem to matter much Now you’re on the move like a bunny beach ball ready to bounce Saying we lost our groove, and your love gets paid by the pound, not by the ounce Empty promises, empty promises Hollow house built in blood Empty promises, empty promises Bricks of stone cold hearted love Cold smiles, cadaver touch Whatever love you had for me, now ain’t much Bankroll from other lovers lay brazenly on the night stand Cigar smell cologne on your clothes, scented trail mix of another man You kept one promise though, said soon it was all gonna end And that when we part ways, we ain’t gonna be best friends Empty promises, empty promises Scarlet tears flowing in a river of blood Empty promises, empty promises Love got carried away in a crimson flood
