Your Promise
You promised truth
and utter honesty
to be my friend
and always care

You promised hope
to share your life
and be around for me
you said you'd be there

You promised comfort
and said you'd hold me
when I was lost
you'd find the way

You promised light
in times of darkness
and said to wait
there would come a day

You promised me
so many things
and I believed you
you gave me hope

You promised me

and yourself
but still it happened
your promise broke.
