Words. Promises.

Your words, your promises
Goes a long way
Bringing me through everyday
With hope, reassurance
That you'd make everything you say
A fairytale in reality
For me.


But as the days go by
And i wait and wait
For all to come true
Those words you said
Those promises you made
They replay again and again
In my head
Building a steady rhythm
Of resentment
Solemnly played.


Some words
Should be left unsaid
And maybe promises
Weren't meant to be kept
But sometimes
They're all that is left
To cling on
As i journey down
The road of life.
