Empty Words

Time lost on empty words for you.
In our room shared for two.
Balled up papers in a trash can.
I rushed to grab your hand.
As pleading eyes stop and stare.
Last given chance to show I care.
Fragile silence kept intact.
Just to have your hope attacked.
By my self doubt and insecurities.
We end at the start like tragedies.
You slowly turn and let go of my hand.
As balled up papers remain in a trash can.
