I Promise Poem by Leilei Shirley Wu

I don't blame you for being cruel
Because this is what you needed to do
I'd wave to you like the sky's still blue
I'd smile every time I see you
I'd laugh like everything's still true
I don't blame you for being cruel
Because this is how you'll see me being nothing like I used to

Loud music and sad lyrics are gnawing my brain
I'm walking down the street looking like it's about to rain
The closer I was to my room the more twisted my face became
But I promised you I'd be fine
Then I'll be perfectly fine like everything's still the same

But I still wake up at night
Every time I thought you were outside
How am I going to sleep tight
If I know I never have a chance to make things right
