Diary of the Damned -- Thursday, February 27th, 2014 - Second entry

Words cannot bring but much more than a fling
If they aren't reflected by actions
You can say all you want; you can say anything
But I want more than brief satisfaction
You can tell me you want me, that you love and you care
But promises cannot console me
For mere words are always all I'm ever given
And words without love cannot hold me
So many have spoken the kindest of words
And thought that alone would sustain me
While treating me harshly, as more of a slave
Wanting love, all while treating me hatefully
I will not accept, nor will I justify
Being treated as less of a lover
When I've honored each one of my words and my promises
Despite lack of such from the other
No more hollow words, and no more broken promises
I will not take part in your one sided high
If you can't show me love just the same as you'd have it
Then the only thing left to say now is goodbye
