We Promised

by Jemma   Jun 12, 2006


Sand through the timer
Dripping, unstitching, undone
Lost in my moments
The lies have begun

Laughing through pain
And crying out loud
No one can see me
I'm lost in the crowd

Don't make promises
I won't
Keep Promises
Like everyone else

I saw you today, kept my head down
Looking away, staring at the ground
Watched as you strutted on by
While I am grounded you've managed to fly

Don't make promises
I won't
Keep promises
Like everyone else

I hate promises; they're broken by lies
They swarm them; consume them, breaking their ties

Stuck in a moment
Eyes glued to the floor
Waiting for the second
You walk through my door

I can't keep promises
You never could
We don't keep promises
Maybe we should

**wasn't sure where to put this, as per usual. I hope i made the right choice with it**
