Empty Dreams


You caress me in a tender embrace, and you tell me that you love me, with a smile of lust on your face, is this all just empty dreams? You kissed me oh so tenderly, but it wasn't anything like my dreams. It's love, I thought so recklessly, but wasn't more than empty dreams. I wanted so much for this to be real, but you only wanted something to feel. It was all just part of your lustful scheme, to you it didn't mean a thing, you filled me up with empty dreams. I won't sit by and play your game, it hurts me when you call my name. All that's left are broken seams, and crashing down of empty dreams.
