Empty Pretties

I don't want your promises
They mean nothing to me
Just empty words with jagged edges
To tear at me and make me bleed
I don't need those whispers
Your pretty little lies
Sparkly and distracting
Trying to keep me from seeing the truth in your eyes
I mean as little as those words
A silly bauble on a golden string
I'm just as empty, just as worthless
Just a time consuming plaything
Something to relieve the tedium
Maybe brighten up the gloom
But easily replaced and forgotten
Left to collect dust in an empty room
