i hear the words

I Love You

and I Miss You

roll off of your tongue

i thought i heard

sincerity

and softness

in your voice

i wanted to believe you

when you said

you were sorry

but I just can't

I feel torn between

what you actually say

and what you really mean

actions have always

spoken louder

and with more passion

than any words ever could

right now

your actions

have left me

feeling completely

alone
