Make me a promise

I’ll search for the truth

Words are meaningless

When trust is aloof

Make me a promise

And I’ll expect it to be kept

Stay true to words of power

My hope in it has leapt

And now it comes

The test of faith

Alas I knew it would

Lead to hate

What’s this?

Another broken vow?

Huh I knew it

No surprise there WOW

Looking over and under hills

Swear I’ll find the honest

I don’t know who I can trust

Wading through a murky forest

No one knows

How to keep a pact

No stone left unturned

No promise left intact
