Words
What do they mean
To me

Nothing

Absolutely Nothing

Promises
Are words

Broken promises
Broken Words

-I do care-

Words

Just words

-I love you-

They have

No
Meaning

No
Emotion

No
Thought

Just empty

Empty

Vacant

No one is home

*****

I live in a world
Where everyone's
Mouths are
Sewn shut
And words
Do not exist

The only thing
Here
IS

Love
And
Hate

Ahh...the chills recede, slowly. This is how I feel. You can't express love through words, you have to show it through actions. A love poem is only a verbal gurantee. Words are kind of like insurance, it assures you. Great write.

Thank you! I hate hearing words when they have no meaning behind them. Just makes them empty, not full of feeling, like they should be. =)
