Promise looked me in the eyes
and lied to my face.
Promise took my hand and
led me to a missing place.
Promise picked me up, then
he let me down.
Promise talked and talked
but never made a sound.
Promise shook my hand,
then he turned and walked away.
Promise filled my heart with
hope that turned into depressing
pain.
Promise was my friend but then
he told me lies.
Now with Promise by my side,
each day consists of disappointing signs.
