they're meaningless.
deadly as sin.
seeing how
they wrap themselves
around my throat
and choke me
until i cannot scream
for you to
stop.
strangely,
i'm humbled by them.
sadly,
i believe in them.
innocently,
i beg for you to
speak again.
i ravish your
sweet nothings.
cry at your
harsh tone
when you're
angered.
and still i ask
for you to
speak again.
for you ease
my uneasy mind
with your tongue
and savage lies.
