PROMISES
Whenever they need you
Need you to be there
They make such promises
For a lifetime to share
They string words into phrase
That sounds ever so sweet
And make those promises
They never intend to keep
They make promises
Because “I felt like it then”
And perhaps just to see
If you’d make promises to them
You always trust them
When they whisper your name
You believe their promises
You do the same
Yes it’s those promises
That hurt more than the pain
Still you wait for them to come back
To make those promises again
