Promise

The pale moonlight whispers of days gone by,

As I sit myself down to cry,

I think about the things you promised never to do,

How could you… how could you?

The pain inside doesn’t fade,

As you once promised me it would,

You promised me so much,

How could nothing be as it should?

You promised my happiness would be eternal,

For a time I actually believed,

But then you had to betray my trust,

How could I have been so naïve?

My sadness is etched upon the wall,

In shattered glass and blood,

How could you do this to me?

How could nothing be as it should?

I wonder how I trusted you,

I wonder why I cry,

It amazes me how you hurt me so much,

So much I want to die….

It feels like my heart has cracked,

My walls have all collapsed,

Any enemy could walk right in,

My senses have all lapsed.

I lay in shattered pieces,

I lay and wonder why…

I wonder how you hurt me so much,

So much I want to die….
