Words.

They mean nothing, but everything.
They hang s

Unavoidable

You try to take it back
try to make it right
but they come back.

Exposing your every fear and weakness.
You can't take back what you used to be..can't make it right. Such is the result of stupidity.

So stupid

So stupid how you could have made it right with     2   simple    words:

and you blindly justify your hollow     petty

Words

They listen at first, then turn a blind eye
as you cry wolf over and over again.
Then listening stops all together to your dishonest, bold faced:

Time goes by
You have changed,

You try to let them know- Try to scream out in vain:

"I'm sorry, so sorry.

I've changed,

please let me make it right! Let me make it right....Just one more chance, one more chance to--"

You waited too long to say what you needed.
To change yourself.
To speak all that they just wanted in the first place.
The one thing that would have made it right.
They wanted nothing more than

Truthful
      honest-
