The Empty Bottle


Dear Him, 

You tell her that you love her

Then you walk away. 

You come back when you need her 

Because loneliness is a pain.

Your promises are just as empty 

As the bottle, you hold in your hand. 

You lift her up with false hope

Just to break her down again. 

She loves you 

And you know she does.

She cares for you 

But you never cared once. 

You don't deserve her 

And you know that you don't.

You tell her that you love her

Then she walks away. 

You beg her to come  back 

But she's not listening. 

Your promises mean nothing

Now all you have to hold is that bottle in your hand.
