Promise

by ~*^*~ longing to belong ~*^*~   Nov 14, 2004


I promised to tell the truth,
I promised to let you know,
I promised to say,
I promised to show,

But how to keep a promise,
I have already broken,

How to keep a promise,
When I can't accept your token,

How to keep a promise,
When I just want to protect,

How to keep a promise,
Whenthe results are defect,

You are better off with lies,
You are better off not knowing,
You are better off if I don't say,
You are better off without me showing.

    There are so many possible interpretations for this poem, I love it! And its tone is nefarious, seductive, retreating, cautionary, even nurturing all dependent on the course you take with the words in your mind. Excellent poem!
