You Don'T Mean It... Poem by Nikki Taboada

I Know When You Say Those Words
You Don’t Have A Second Thought
You Don’t Take Them Seriously,
But I Do
And It Hurts Me When You Fling Them Around Like They Mean Nothing To You
When You Say “I Hate You”
At Least Mean It

I Know When You Say Those Words
You Don’t Plan On Seeing Them Through
You Don’t Intend To Make Them True
But It’s So Wrong Of You
And It Pains Me When You Promise Me With Words You Don’t Mean
When You Say “I’ll Be There”
At Least Mean It

I Know When You Say Those Words
You don’t Think Things Through
You Don’t Know How Badly Those Words Will Hurt Me,
But They DO Hurt
And It Kills Me When You Say Those Words Without Meaning Them
When You Say “I Love You”
At Least Mean It
