Chastise
a hard lesson for a dying fool
that the hearts of men are empty
and you were no different
despite the pretty words
that held no meaning
so when you mourn the loss
and the cold space in your bed
remember the words you broke her with
remember how cleverly you held her
in tears and weakness
remember that you had no right
so when you pass these gifts
that didn't fit the little girl
to the next one you'll hurt
remember that you still have no right
and think on what's best for someone else
and not your own selfish desires
g.w.b.
The Truth Of It All
it was far from perfect
but better than the cold empty moments
the heat of fear burning on these cold winter nights
and even the fear has left
replaced by weary acceptance
that time has proven
a bitter lesson
that the words of men are empty
prince charming is only a story
and joy is found with friends who truly care
i love you guys :)
