You said you'd never leave me,

But I guess you lied,

For my heart is broken,

And yet you wonder why?

You said you wouldn't hurt me,

But I guess it was a joke,

I'd be so much happier,

If I knew how to cope.

You said, "Bandage it with tape",

But I guess it doesn't work,

For it fell back apart,

And scattered in the dirt.

You said I needed help,

But I don't understand,

For you up and left,

Before telling me why you lied, again.

You said I need a therapist,

But I don't know why,

For I'm still sane,

Darling I'm perfectly fine.

You got me into this mess,

But now you couldn't care less,

Did you really love me?

Or was I just another broken promise?


The author's comments:

The difference between promises and memories is that we break promises, and memories break us. I went through a major heart break when I wrote this. I hope some of you can relate.
