Empty Promises

Its funny how you demand respect

Like respect comes with birth

You don't deserve it.

I used to respect you

But that respect depleted

With every empty promise

You get angry when called unreliable

But the truth is 

thats a nice word for what you are

I wish I could cut you off

But every time you make an empty promise

I believe it.

Such a common mistake we make, isn't it. I have people in my life like this. I think you captured that mind set quite well in this piece. Very relatable poetry. Well penned.
