Promise
“Promise me you won’t laugh at me.”
My tears troubled my eyes
“I saw you as my future, but now I see you as my lies..”
My heart beat stopped as you laughed
My body didn’t choose to run away,
But with the hurt that you had given me,
I couldn’t bare to stay.
I heard you yell “I’m sorry,” in a painful, bitter voice.
I knew you didn’t mean it, but you left me with no choice.
I ran across the surface of the grassy hills,
Searching for the highest mountain, that could leave me cold and maybe killed.
When I found the perfect height, my body filled with fright.
I might have chose to jump, and turning off the light.
I didn’t stop to think about the people I would hurt.
I didn’t care to think about the lesson you had learnt.
Finally I had no grass beneath my feet,
But I heard a voice say “i love you”
And it grabbed me to retreat.
That night my head spun, wanting to go back.
But you never laughed again, and to me that was a fact.
