Empty Words

I've listened to a lot of shallow words in my life
 Words of empty meanings
 Words that just Past time 
Words that spark emotions 
And words that mean nothing at all
 I've listened to a lot of talk in my life 
Talks about future events
 Talks about things people want to do
 None of those talks added up
 None of those talks made a difference
 I've listened to a lot of flam in my life
 Flam about where people want to be
 Flam about what their expectations are 
Flam about what they expect of you 
And flame about how they love you
 Empty promises 
Forgotten dreams 
Morage of hope 
Like Water in the desert
 It doesn't last long
