Naive Vows


We promised our hearts for eternity.

But were naïve souls,

Not understanding our vows were empty

even before they were uttered.

Now our tongues spit heinous words,

Severing the passion, we once held dear.

Invalidating what we once thought was

truth,

Exposing the caustic emptiness within our words.
