Best Empty Words Poems
Words at the edges
Of your Tongue
Are not merely Words.
A Thought trying
Desperately to be expressed.
If hope lie in words
Is Hopelessness the absence?
No sound, no chirp, no brighter day ahead.
Engulfed by Darkness and Dread
If words are crucial to meaning
Why are they misused?
When slang destroys the basis of Thought
When LOL substitutes true Laughter
When a text makes Emotion
obsolete…
What do we do next?
Just ink on paper
Stained but not Bled
We await the future
Words…..
Desperate.. how can you be with someone and not love them. Desperate.. your heart is empty. Are you lonely? Desperate.. is it true? A shallow word? An empty meaning? Desperate..Desperate..Desperate, is it a rumor, the spread of words that ruin lifes. Am i invisable? I'm here. Standing in front of you. Maybe my glasses are blocking your view. I can change.. I'm not desperate. I'm in love, but then again what is love? An empty word. An empty meaning.. A rumor?
a poem by LeannW.Brown
Did you hope I wouldn't notice you gave me empty words to drink?
well my tongues tasted more lies
than you would ever dare to think of.
You're not the only one with truth like poison in their veins.
whose ribs are shaped like cage
holding tightly to the pain
I knew even touched that wretched cup
pour a glass of words to cover what you hide
perhaps don't leave your secrets clinging tightly
to the side
but then again empty words.
Empty words, easily spoken,, but hard to swallow, you say them with little effort at all,
Empty words, empty meaning, but leave a hurtful mark,
Empty words, you say them with a smile, but the pain lingers for awhile.
Empty words, let me refresh your memory;
Hi, how are you today, good to see you again,"
You are so smart, you will go on to bigger and better things"
Im so glad you were in my class".
You are honestly doing your best".
Empty words, leave a painful mark,
One that you cannot see,
Empty words, bring tears, that I have to wipe away,
Empty words, lead to an empty space,
Are you happy now, Since I am now gone?
I know you have moved on, I only hope its not to hurt someone else,
Because empty words, only spread pain and mistrust,
But Im used to it, someone else may not.
Goodbye Suzanne, for my monarch butterflies werent really your thing,
But they helped heal me, with love, beauty, that Your empty words caused me to feel,
I know now that I have to believe in myself, because trust, honesty, arent really your thing...
Consuming your words
trim the fat from my waistline
like anorexics
The empty calories
in your words turned my face to shame
like bulimics
Your words like junk food
made me unhealthy
as the years pass by
My thin darkened skin
wrinkled having no luster
awaits death
Empty calories in your words
took a toll on my soul
crushed my spirit
Now one foot in the grave
one standing firm in life
I continue to strive
no phrase that I've mentioned
till now
has moved a leaf
no imagination
has now ever lived
still
inside a dark room
i waste the time
so precious for
the words to rhyme
a dim light pressured
by a melting glue
that holds a life
as i empty the
imagination i lived
and words fill the empty
floor
Words
Syllables
And sentiments
……. Because they come from golden wrapped parcels slipping from your tongue
They glimmer and twirl into a breathless breeze
That sent a shiver down my spine
At first it was divine.
To hear your hopeful idealisms of a you and me together
A nonsensical romance
But time and time again
Away you’d Slither
Slippery serpent
Dazzling black diamond vermin
You discarded your scaly skin
Of who you were, and what you could have been
You bit me with your fangs of passion
Left me bitter and poisoned
Trust, that painful word without meaning,
Trust a Father, he hurts you,
Trust a friend, they desert you.
Promise, that pointless word never kept,
Promise you'll always be there, you won't,
Promise you'll not say a word, you will.
Believe, that greedy word that everyone wants,
Believe in family, they split up,
Believe in in God, he ignores your cries for help.
Love, the worst word, never practiced,
Love life, it becomes a curse,
Love anyone, they leave you, hurt you, or worse.
I trust only one, a sister to me,
I promise, but don't often keep,
I know not what I believe,
I love cautiously!
Uttering sugar-coated words is one dimension
Promising to love is one aspect, we must love
Walking on the head is crazy, we must embark on the mission
That proves our readiness and willingness to give
Stacks of moons and stars we promise
In our haste to gain social mileage
In the wake of the longing we increase
On our Facebook page
Cos promising belittles the dignity
Inherent in a spirit of true sacrifice
Which gives the little it can both here and at infinity where affinity
Traverses promise chasms and holds that it doesn’t suffice
To raise hopes on sentimental slopes we intend to dash
At the earliest opportunity we exploit then cut and run
Like the yellow cowardice we flash
When partners demand more than the fun
We long to access in the social process
Where we profess to give much
Deliver less than we access in terms of genuine progress
We purloin as soon as hallowed happiness from others shamelessly we snatch.
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
Staring each other in the eye
We have come to point of saying goodbye
Words have lost their sting
The passion within them is gone
Within them no power remains
Everything you could say has been heard
Nothing you can do could change this fact
She doesn't want you back
Grey Goose won't dull this pain
Hanging with the fellas won't help you forget what you let slip away
Prayers won't bring her back
Stop trying
If you knew her worth you would have been home
Blowing up her phone
Sending texts with hearts and smiley faces
Always reminding her that you care
Kissing her goodnight
Setting football aside for one night
Paying attention to her needs
Instead you worried about yourself
Leaving her alone at night
Never knowing the tears she cried
Staring each other in the face
Knowing we are about to go our separate ways
Love and all we had faded away
Nothing could you to stay
Words have become air with sounds
Empty words
Have no
Opposites
Or similarities
Paradoxically..
While words
Seem to
Always suggest
Those antonyms
And synonyms
Dictionary bound
An empty word
Is dictionary-free...
In my defense, in other silent words
In my actions they are deemed in perils
Harness, perish the thoughts, bring it out bring it about
It’s hard, so very, very, hard to hear
Those empty words
Those words that are always, always heard
And I won’t play favorites or try to flatter anyone
And I won’t as the grumblers malcontents following their own sinful desires
And I won’t be loud mothed boaster
Showing favoritism to gain advantage tryin to git over
While using, empty words
Empty words
Have you ever heard all of those empty, empty words?
They mean nothing if they’re not heard
Empty words
Them there those
Empty words

Job 32:21
St. Jude16
Eerini, greets the young Greek of Sparta
Shalom, answers the old Jew from Haifa
Assalam Alaikum, says the Arab Muslim
Peace, the Christian replies back to him.
Enough! so easily said but hardly meant.
Moving along in the heat
That has defined my life
I don’t believe I’m done
Cut my throat beside my empty words
I saw your face deep inside a thought
Reminds me of the battles we once fought
And the lesson that I had been taught
That I still try to pretend isn’t there
But it seems as though it’s almost been a century
A hundred years since I’ve married the thief
But it could not matter much to me
Since my prayers traveled on hot dead air
Moving along in the heat
That has defined these wars
There’s just no way I’m done
Spill my blood to wash these empty words
I’m only brave when you’re far away
To fantasize about my way
But I see it coming, I can see the day
Where I can walk without my fear of you
If you came running, I can’t say what I’d do
To take you back or stay away from you
I know I gave my firsts to you
But I’ve got my pride to help me through
Moving along in this heat
That will define my past
I can’t say when I’ll be done
Take my life to birth these empty words
Take my hand, it’s gonna be a rough ride
Through passion, and all the things you made me hide
My brain is twisting and my sight is clearing
And my memory’s dimming and I can’t see what I’m fearing
Moving along in this heat
Forever defining
I think I’m almost done
Born again inside these empty words
Moving along in this heat
It’s all I’ve ever known
I pray I’m almost done
Speaking once again these empty words
