Sugar Lies

Sweet words from you meant nothing

when you said them on the fly,

You danced through my sensations

and I lived through the lies

 

Your good intentions meant nothing

when you walked out and slammed the door

And left your child crying

because he believed in you once more

 

Your promises meant nothing

because you loved the bottle more,

Forgetting to come home again

while I steadily paced the floor

 

Your apologies meant nothing

as well as anything you tried to say

When hopeful little faces are left waiting

because you forgot to visit that day

 

When I forgive you it means nothing

though I may look you in the eyes

My words can mean just as much as yours

those sweet but empty sugar lies
