Promise

I made a promise that I'd never touch that razor.
A promise to never let myself bleed.
A promise to never hide that person inside.
But I knew you could see right through my eyes.

I made a promise that I wouldn't hide.
A promise to let out my tears and cry.
A promise not to hold them in and die.
But you saw the sign.

I made a promise to not drink.
A promise to not stumble.
A promise to not down a bottle.
A promise to not listen to that whiskey song.
But you already knew I was gone.

I made a promise to tell you.
A promise to communicate.
A promise to not break down.
A promise to not drive over the bridge.
A promise to never break a promise.
A promise.
A promise.
