Empty
i saw you once
in a dream and you were smiling. the
thought confused me-no tears, no frown,
no dark shadows lurking. did i miss something?
did you tell the
truth? did you keep a
promise? all too quickly did
i awake to reality.
you claim to know all of
life's lessons-
you claim to know me...HA!
prove it!
(empty words do not
touch me, they bruise
me and empty thoughts
are empty promises I fade from)
