Promises
Real or fake
Opinion of which is yours
My opinion what I believe
Isn't something of which most agree
Seeing my way of thinking is not as
Easy as it seems most think I just dream
Promises
They're hardly kept and always made
For those who think in senseless ways
Two are married in a church
Then there's fighting and a curse
One holding to the promise made
The other just wants to go their own way
Never knowing, Never seeing
Just the pain that they're creating
Years go by, they look back
To what is now their past
Remembering sweet memories
Neither saw today's misery...
Promises
They're hardly kept and always made
For those whose love seems to stray
Out of town was he
A nice young man of 23
On a mission for his wife-to-be
Yet when he came home, it was she
Who promised, then took with greed
Arms empty, Anger in his eyes
He wonders why he's so surprised.
Promises
They're hardly kept and always made
This I know to be true, which is why my mind is made.
Because of one man
I let no one make me promise or even think they can
He promised me the world
And he walked out on me when I was at the age of either 2 or 3
Walk right out of life, I watched him leave.
No, I rarely make promises
But the extremely rare times that I do
Please believe, I'll fulfill them. I'm not like him.
