Empty Promises

Empty promises..
You smothered me in lies..
Then you said your goodbyes.. 
A con in disguise you were..
As you lured me in your web of treachery..

You played a fools game..
As I drowned in your chess pool of madness..
Soaked to the skin in your lying web..
Hurt and betrayal join hands as one..

Empty promises made..
I do declare..
that I lay it to rest..

I have been deceived..
Now it's time to bereave and let go..

Empty promises ..
Goodbye to all the pain..
As I remain sane..
I join hands and remove the pain..
