A Promise Poem by Theo Williams

A Promise

Rating: 5.0


Oh how years float on the gusty wind
I still hear the faint voice competing
But dies to the ethereal sin
My sullied heart - hell was greeting.

Mother many a night you say
The angels are forever protecting
But they must've been gone many a day
‘Cause your soul they were expecting.

You always told me there were no monsters under my bed
You always told me Mother to show no fear
But all these monsters I see e'ery day in my head
Live in this very World we see here.

Mother you would pray to God to guide me
To keep me safe and warm
But this so called holiness we see
Has caused many a bloodshed war.

Where was he to save you?
When demons reaped your life
Where were his angels to protect you?
From today's corrupt ridden rife.

You promised the lord wouldn't take you away
You promised me you'd always be there
You promised me you'd always stay
These broken promises ripped my heart a tear.

I walk these empty boulevards
With my head sagged down
No happiness at my regard
Your promises - I frown.

I will never thank the lord
For taking away my goddess
This madness should sheath its sword
I forever love you Mother, is my promise.
