promises
Location
It was like yesterday that
You promised to change.
The promises you keep telling
Me stay, but the wind took it
Away from you.
Everything you touch turn to
Ashes.
The first time you went to
Jail for hurting somebody
To the first time, I saw you
Take that pill to the first day
You enter that group.
Everything change for the
Worst.
I love you, but the promises
You keep telling me
Where are they now?
I want you to come back
Because this is killing me.
Every word turn to ashes
Every touch was painful
Every promise was never there
Every smile was a lie
Every lie was the truth
But every promise was
Nothing to you
But the world to me was
Your promises.
You always told me this
“Don’t fight for something that was never meant to be yours.”
But you always did and
Never left any of your
Promises to me in any paper.
Instead, you let them
To ride in the wind.
No more lies
No more promises not keep
No more nights wondering
What will happen tomorrow?
Every look was nothing
Every hug meant your pain
Every kiss was your hope
That you lost.
Every promise was a time of your past
Every song meant your struggle
Against all this….
Your pain, your gang, your addition,
Your gun, your drugs,
And your people.
This is your promise to keep
Me away from all this.
The promises that you keep
Telling me.
I no longer fell alive or in a
World that meant unharmed.
I still remember the first
Time you promise to change
For the better.
