Broken Promises
Have you forgotten what it was?
Have you lost what we could be?
Too many broken promises you’ve given.
Too many of us lost needlessly.
Perhaps under a different sky they’d still be here?
Perhaps with a different voice love never would have disappeared?
With all your words, where was the truth?
With all your promises where are the deeds?
Why does the air in my lungs feel like hot tar trying to drown me?
