Sour Nothings

Tell me those things, the little ones please
The whispers you uttered that brought me to my knees
Those lovely such somethings that seemed so perfect last night
But seemed to vanish so quickly with morning’s first light.

After you left later that day and I was again adrift
It seems those words were erased when I needed the lift
Is it really so hard just to pretend one more time
That my world is your world, that your heart is mine?

Now from your lips all I get are just sour nothings
No soulful longing, no yearning, no stroking or touching
Well YOU I can live without, and it will be my treat
And I’ll find someone else, someone less guarded and sweet.

Someone seduced by my playfulness, lured by my humor
To prove that true love does exist and is not just a rumor
I hope you find yours too, some day when you’re more prepared
When your armor is lowered and you are less scared.
