Words Lost In The Dark

We hold on to words. Words that make up promises, plans, or what not. 
What's sad is more times than not these words eventually become meaningless. 
Or maybe, change is to blame for every empty promise.
Feelings change so plans change; before you know it everything you believed to be true, isn't.
Everything you once fought for doesn't wish to be fought for anymore,
And you end up holding on to these damn words someone once told you, months or maybe years ago, that mean nothing now. 
It's a fucked up concept, 
Because, honestly, we usually know we are holding on to nothing.
But we foolishly hold on anyway, because we are too damn scared to let go of everything we once wanted. 

Maybe, just maybe, 
They did love us once,
And they did care for us once.
Their promises weren't empty then,
And their words weren't meaningless then.
But change forces people to let go and move on,
Because usually, there's something else waiting for us.
And we are the stupid ones fighting the inevitable, 
Holding on to the past,
Hoping for these empty words to find meaning,
When maybe the best thing that will ever happen to us is right around the corner. 

As for me, I'm still working on letting go of all words these lost in the dark..
