274. Growing Tired

" 'cause it'll never happen again. "

How oft I've said to you,
     Just moments before I managed
          To do it once more.
Empty promises
     Are all I ever seem to give to you.
          Maybe that's why
               I shouldn't promise anymore.



" I love you. "

Each time you say to me,
     You prove more and more
          That you mean not a word you say.
Subtle lies
     Are the only thing you give to me.
          Could that be why
               I don't want to hear anymore?
Now it seems all that we share
     Are empty promises and subtle lies;
Gone is the love that we once knew,
               Never to return.
We are candles dying slowly in the breeze...
