Not Every Promise


Promises are always easy to make.

The more you make the more you should keep.

Promises are always simple to break.

The more you keep the more you should cherish.

 

Promises sometimes loose their shine.

The less you care the less they believe.

Promises sometimes cross the line.

The less you believe the less they matter.

 

A broken promise can not be mended.

Friendships crumble and aliances blended.

Broken promises are pretty lies.

Hearts are shattered and all hope dies.
