I could promise you a million things
but not give you a single one of them
and you would merely stand there and smile.
Promises can be accomplished tomorrow
and as long as I indicate that I have an intent in that direction
you will be content to wait.
I think you should shake me from my lies,
hold me eye level and ask me
do i really mean anything I have ever said?
So I can smile and shake my head,
the smile stressed and unmeant.
How easy you have made it
to get away with it.
