A promise,
To you,
Is like a toy.

Throw it, smash it
Against the wall,
And if it breaks,
Just glue it back together.
“Good as new.”

If only things
Were quite that simple.
If only all I needed
Was some superglue
And a hollow apology.

“I told you...
I’m sorry.
How many times do I have to say it?”

Say it as many times as you need to
So you can sleep at night.
It doesn’t matter.

Love,
To you,
Is like a game.

We lose.
You laugh,
And clear the board.
“Play again?”

I’m smarter than that.
I'm not your toy.
But that’s all you see in me
And you know—
You know—
I’m not your toy.
