Nothing But Words

April 14th, 2024

The words “I miss you”
I’ve learned as manipulation 
I’m trying to forget the people
Who lied through all communication 
The words “I need you”
Only said by those who leave
I’m trying to believe there are still good people
But am I being naive
The words “I love you”
I’ve only known with conditions
I’m trying to find the people
Who don’t speak these words as ammunition
