You.
The word “PROMISE” means something to me.
Something important.
It’s meant to be kept,
Cherished,
Honored,
Something special.
But to you?
“PROMISE”
Is just another word
In your vocabulary.
One more sweet poison to
Catch my attention,
Rope me in,
Keep me there,
But worst of all?
You make me love you.
You had me trust you,
To the point where I was stupid enough
To actually let my walls down
And listen to the nonsense
That spilled out of your head.
To what? To be able to say
“You’re mine” ?
To control my life?
Who I talked to, what I wore,
Me.
To be able to simply say
You had a girlfriend?
Well?
What was it?
Because I know it wasn’t love.
You don’t destroy people you love,
You do know that, right?
You protect them,
You care for them,
You’re always there,
You promise. And you mean it.
Well, that’s what anybody
Who actually loves,
Who means what they say,
Who doesn’t just promise,
But fulfills everything their partner wants.
Somebody who has a heart,
And gives two shits about anyone but themselves.
I’m sorry that I thought you were that kind of person,
And that I even wasted a second glance in your direction.
