You promised you'd always be there
You promised you'd call every day
You promised you'd never forget me
Then how did it end up this way
You said, "Never will our bond die
Never will I change my mind
Never will I abandon our family
Never will I make you say 'Goodbye'"
But all of that had been a lie
Because never did I receive a call
I sat at home feeling forgotten all the time
Because you had left us all
Every night I cried myself to sleep
I tried to forget about your lies
But every night I knew I had been left alone
It was then and there that I decided to block you out of my life
Author notes
This is for my brother who went to college when I was 3. He said he would call all the time and wouldn't abandon me but he did. He just didn't care. So for a long time I cried myself to sleep until I finally blocked out all the years I had known him out my life. I love you Will but we said Goodbye a long time ago.

This is a very sad poem, it's hard to put down in works how you feel when someone you love leaves you. But you did it really well considering you went through it. I hope all goes well. very emotional poem.

It was a little short but, I like this it kinda reminds me of a poem I have called "The Promises". Yeah so now I tell everyone to not make promises they can't keep. I like the last verse the best.
