empty words
by Mary C. Criss
Nothing you say
Will convince me
Make me believe
That what you say is true
Your words have no meaning
Empty sounds
Exit your mouth
They mean nothing to me
There is no proof
Nothing to back your words
It's nothing that I haven't heard
No action to prove
That what you say is true
Close my eyes
Wish and pray
But day after day
It's still the same
No meaning
To the empty words you say
Talking nonsense
Words without meaning
It's just a waste of time
And a little bit of me dies
Every time you speak
Say what you think I want to hear
Without a care
To prove what you say
