Promises

Britt promised me
She would always be here
Guess what.
She left
Kyle promised me
He would never again delete me
Guess what
He did
Mom promised me
She would always be there to dry my tears
Guess what
She left when I cried the most
Brian promised me
He would always make me laugh
Guess what.
He's just making me cry now
Broken Promises
Swirling around
Suffoacting me bit by bit
I struggle to breathe
To get to the surface
I struggle
Trying to get at least one person to keep their promise
I feel the pain of the promises
In my broken heart
I feel the tears
Coming down my cheeks
As I realize
That the word promise
Doesn't mean anything anymore
