to those who love and wait the addicts ressurection- promises are the stinging disappointments of the wait.

You said you'd be straight by his birthday. Your birthday, My birthday, For sure by Christmas. No more lies and no more tries. you're half-past late oh so late too late. Promises should never be broken. Broken promises are lies lies but a token all promises broken, A promise is absolute to the child. you cannot lie to a child you should not lie to a child nor break the heart of a promise.
