Empty Promises

Empty promises which hold on weight
Blowing aimlessly in whatever direction the winds chooses

Whispering lies and deceiving the most strongest of minds
The hollowness entangled within your lies torture the very innocence contained throughout
my dreams

Shattering every existence of hope
Launching them into an abyss of darkness 
Surrounded by a sea of victims who have suffered a similar fate

No greater than my own misguided trust
