A Promising Lie
“I promise
I promise.”
Came his sweet lie,
“To love you and hold you
Till the day that I die.”
But goodbye came with wordless abuse.
His silence the proof of the love he would choose.
“I'm sorry
I'm sorry”
I've heared that before.
If only, if only
You could have loved me more.
But I'm done with the hurt, I'm done with the pain,
Now my only wish is to forget I ever knew your name.
I promise.”
