I will
… you won’t
I’ll do it
… you don’t
I’m here for you
… so untrue
I…
I promise…
I promise you…
I promise you I’ll…
Empty words
That roll so easily off your tongue
When we both know
No thought
No feeling
No truth in any one of them
Platitudes
Inane
Insane
The same refrain
Why say anything
When at each vow
You stumble and fall
Better… stay silent
Say nothing at all

I’m sorry about my email Ann. You are right to say that words are empty things.

Great poem as always. I like how you take the empty words and make the truth stand out.
Love you my friend.
