empty

By Sky Singer

written 3.13.2005


you promise
these things
with the best
intentions
but thoughtfulness
only goes
so far
when your words
are nothing
more than
a lyrical
composition
of syllables

    I like to think that words can convey much more weight than any other mode, but by the same token, can be the emptiest of expressions. I love this. It's short, to the point, and aesthetically pleasing all the same.

    oops, strike 'all the same'. Meant to say 'at the same time.' Pitiful, the effects of sleep deprivation. I'm really one to nitpick about grammar. : )
