Promises and Lies
Why can’t you keep a promise?
Again you make me cry.
Tears of min flow.
Because of the lie.
You led me on.
Telling me how you feel.
But in the end.
It wasn’t real.
One day you want me.
The next day you don’t.
Make up your frigging mind.
You want to take me but you wont.
This is practically like lying.
Its like you’re doing it to me every day.
Why can’t you be careful?
Watch every word you say.
I’m not like those other girls.
You can’t treat me the way you do.
Don’t act like you can fuck around with me.
What the hell is wrong with you?
I thought I was your angel.
Your sweet and loving friend.
You used to call me baby.
With those words my heart you’d mend.
I know that you love me.
You know I love you too.
All though it’s getting harder everyday.
To tell you that I do.
Your lies rip through my heart.
Like a knife through tender skin.
I could never stick one through yours.
It’s made of cold hard tin.
You used to hurt me when I trusted you.
You made my eyes rain.
But now it seems you like to hurt me.
When I’m already in so much pain.
I know it’s not always your fault.
That you get carried away.
I played my part in the fun.
I’ll also try to watch what I say.
So I hope you’re not angry.
Not mad or cursed with tears.
I pray that you can learn to forgive.
And love me through out the years.
Please promise me no more lies.
Can you promise me no more pain?
Never mind I know you cannot do that.
Am I driving you insane?
I need you to be with me.
I swear you were sent from above.
Maybe there is one thing you could promise me.
Do you think you could promise me love?

wow
great poem. To want something so easy for someone to give like a promise of the truth and then not have them keep good on that promise cannot feel that good. Goodluck in my contest
