I Love You

"I love you"


Words so easily said

and then abandoned and forgotten

like a sunset in one's memory

here for a time

and then gone

 

I was there

I saw the sun

I felt it's rise and fall

I experienced it

and then it was gone

 

You were here

You told me you loved me

and now you are gone

like the sun

with no explanation

 

How meaningless those words

how empty

how disgusting

to have believed you when you said

"I love you"

 

Empty words

all empty words

words said, but with no meaning

the bitterest lie

of all.
