he whispered sweet nothings in her ear.
sweet nothings that never came true.
the broken promises, the missing pieces.
the love that never once was hers.
he toiled with her heart, emptied her soul.
he told her 'i love you' but he never meant it.
the joy she once felt was never real.
the hope she once had, diminished.
sweet nothings were all she knew.
