You promised you would never leave,

Said you would share the weight of the world with me.

For a second there, you actually let me believe.

We were meant to have this bond, but all you did was deceive.

You plead, “Please, I just want to be free.”

You promised you would never leave.

Months went by and all I did was grieve.

I thought that every tear that fell made a difference, but see,

for a second there, you actually let me believe

that there was a chance to achieve

a chance to hear your voice, but then you saw the caller id.

You promised you would never leave.

It wasn’t until New Year’s Eve

that you answered my call, and again

for a second there, you actually let me believe.

My heart is shattered, you took it with you. We’ve

come so far, but all you mean to me is pain.

You promised you would never leave,
