[hometext] => Are Promises all bad if broken?
[bodytext] => What is a promise Is a word that is backless He always asked me to promise And I made them knowing it was actless It meant nothing to me That I thought was plain to see But I guess he never realized His feelings were never minimized He spent days planning a romantic night I came home tired and ready to fight I said he was a worthless being He accused me of cheating I just sat in the study drinking Never noticing that his love was sinking He promised to always be here But he is with her over there I packed his stuff and sat it on the lawn I never saw him come get it I was gone till dawn I promised I would never leave Our promises we actually believed But I guess I was there physically But I had left along time ago emotionally He called and I just chased the bottom of the bottle I went walking to sober up in the rainy drizzle As I sobered up I realized I was never there for him I walked to his new house with the gold trim I waited for him to come outside I felt like running and finding a place to hide He listened to me babble on of how I missed what we had He had that I knew it smirk but his eyes looked sad I found out I was just a little too late He already made a wedding date Now I sit hear and wonder if I really made a mistake Or if it was the best thing for both our sake Some promises must just be a safety blanket But given the chance it will soon be forfeit [comments] => 1 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Daydreamer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
