Promise What Is Love

I remember the day I promised What is a promise? No one had ever kept the ones they made to me They disappointed me and left me in tears I wish I had the decency to say sorry But to whom when I made the promise to myself I promised never to let you into my heart I did not want to be hurt at all I swore to let our friendship flourish and discard all seeds of destruction but sense was overcome by passion Emotions eluded me and I went in not knowing that I was digging my own grave I got consumed by the flames cause I was carried away I looked into your eyes and could not see what there was but what I wanted to see I broke the promise, broke my own heart Betrayed myself, tricked myself, confessed my love and got a cold response My heart's pieces are exploded to granules now Now that the ticking bomb has finally exploded as the message was finally decoded At the end of it all..... I ask what is love?
