Kill Her with Kindness

...

Her heart once so alive
Now in a weeping chest
He promised everlasting love
But again and again and again
Put it to the test

He lied
And lied
And lied
His smile shone bright
She cried
And cried
And cried
Inside she slowly
Slowly died

Within soft pledges of love
Layers of intentional pain
She had so much to lose
He had nothing to gain

The words 223I'm Sorry224
Echoed
Hollow
Repeated
A plea, a kiss, a promise
Will he stop to grieve?
When she ceases to believe
