You Lied

One broken promise too many. It's one thing to talk about it, but another when it hits you after an accumulation of years and people

Telling me to wait

Amidst a cold embrace

Soothing, lackluster words to peel the silence

Dazzling display of apathetic empathy

All I desired was to know

You were there

It’s empty

And

Have patience! You take your time

Reveling in the shadows of innocence

Waiting for warmth you hide to radiate from your eyes

Pretending to be in pain

You refuse

What is

Yours

I’m still sitting here

Nice!!
Excellent word choice.
I like how they are big enough to get
the job done, but not to big to make you
feel stupid turning webster's pages..lol.
Overall it was good. I enjoyed reading this.
