~ Without Hope ~

Words fall to dust
Actions fall short...
We all do as we must
Leaving nothing to last resort.

We all tend to dare
In things that don't matter...
We swear forever...
Even when we don't care.

We pretend so much...
Like love, honesty & things as such...
But we all have a clue...
That all that... is not true.

With or without you...
I must do what I got to do.
Whether you are there or not...
Me, is all I've got.

So let's stop living in La La Land
Let's all stop playing pretend.
I know and you know, it's untrue;
I don't love me, I can't love you.
