The promise

Gnawing for a scrap,

running for cover.

Trying to find the reason

i took my lover.

I nudge her

she feels cold.

Why won't she wake up?

This joke is starting to get old.

She's so quiet,

she won't even move.

I caress her,

she feels so smooth.

Trying to remember

days gone by.

Trying to remember

every single lie.

I remember the promise,

oh,so small,

i remember the promise

that took us all
