Thoughts in your head roaring like thunder
in a terrible storm.
Promises broken as common
as the sea greats the shore.

Emptiness fills your heart
like an overflowing cup.
Words spoken could cut you in half.

It's like a book that has been well read
you know the contents and how it ends.
The story's the same, sounds good at the start
but the covers been left tattered and falling apart.

Left on the shelf to gather the dust.
All of a sudden you think of it there
but its fallen apart due to the lack of care.

Realising its value, the story's the same
You don't know what you've got till its faded away.

You want to fix it, you try so hard
but years of carelessness has left its mark.
Love and Kindness cant save what's left.


Expressions,
are the most important aspects, they create impressions
