I was always in love with pretty words

so, when someone was so brilliant

at twisting

evil intentions and false promises

around beautiful words

my heart melted into their hands

I was instantly theirs.

 

Pretty words no longer work anymore

I can see the thorns wrapped around them

I need to see you pick the thorns off

one

by

one

to believe those pretty words

are just that –

pretty words

filled with pretty intentions.
