Pretty words

by Anna La Fleur   Sep 27, 2008


Promises are meaningless
pretty words said to inspire faith
and hide the truth
the more promises are made
the worse the truth is
you always said you were honest
and yet you lied to me
so many times
you say it was to help me
but then you turn around and hurt me
this heart is not broken
it's shattered
humpty dumpty fell off the wall
and then was run over
by rush hour traffic on the freeway
this heart's not simply shattered
it's been powdered
good luck to any one
who tries to love me now
thank you
for finishing my wall
the wall that you broke down
that you broke through
through all my defenses
you walked right in
with all your pretty words
beautiful promises
and i, wishfully thinking them true
let my guard down
and welcomed you in
so foolish
the worst part is
i still want you there
wreaking havoc in my mind
and in my soul
