I wrapped a promise in the dark
where I thought it would be safe,
but I should have known
you would never stick around long enough
to keep it.
The time we spent together
helped me to find myself,
but it seems like everything
I tried to do to please you, failed,
since your smile never reaches your eyes any more.
Your leave of absence has left me blocked,
and this time
I think you are gone forever.
I knew keeping your promise in the dark
was never going to bring me light.
