Broken Promises

It seemed like forever
Since we had talked
But the memories remained
Of the life we walked

No one said a word
No one even dared
Both scared of what would happen
Knowing we both still cared

We drifted apart
Farther than planned
But what kept me close
Was us walking hand in hand

Never forgetting
The memories we shared
Never forgetting
How much we both cared

Finally I dared to speak
The silence was broken
This seemed like relief
With all the words spoken

I asked you
Would this be like before?
Talk one day
But then no more

But you made a promise
You promised me we would change
We would become close again
And I took your word for it

But you broke that promise
Along with it my heart
You told me to leave you alone
And we were forever apart

Why do you come into my life,
Make it like hell
Then leave me there
With a story of pain to tell

If every time I am so hurt
Why do I go back?
Go back to the pain and hurt
And the broken promises
