A Waste of Vibrations
October 30, 2013
Words.
That's all they are.
If there's no soul behind it,
That's all they ever will be.
Simple sound waves fleeing from the air
Can only do so much.
Words are the expression of our feelings.
Why waste them?
We only get so many in a lifetime.
The world tells us that they are for free,
But are they really?
People steal them and warp them.
And when they are false
That makes them lies.
Lie are not free.

I love your poem! It's not worth lying to the people in our lives, especially our loved ones.
