Just Words
Jane Pek
You spoke to me,
Of golden promises
And shimmering times,
Beautiful moments
When we would always be together.
You pledged to me,
Everlasting love and allegiance,
How you would remain by my side
Till death do us part,
Till the end of time.
You told me,
About the pot of gold that lay
Beyond the rainbow,
About the future that beckoned
Towards us, its celestial gates open.
But no matter how much
I blindly believed you,
And how well
You spun your tales of deceit,
All that you said were just words.
Nothing more, sounds echoed
By an unthinking soul
That faded in the wind the morning after,
Leaving me to pick up the pieces
Of my shattered life.
So now, I do not trust so easily,
For I still remember, all too clearly,
Your false love and broken promises ...
How they turned out to be nothing more than
Just words.
