But You Promised

I’m trapped in this nightmare, A never ending dream of violence. Is it because you don’t care, That I constantly receive silence? I’ve looked to hope, I’ve looked to fate. At the end of my rope, I feel your benevolent hate. Your silent voice not sating, Just tell me what you have to say. So I’m left here waiting, But I’m slowly wasting away. In you, I’m trying to believe. Do you intentionally deceive? Mixed messages constantly shown, Nothing straightly told. I’m left staring at my phone, Longing for a hand to hold. I’ve got to get it straight, My head is on backwards, dear. I’m always a step too late, Always bringing up the rear. You said you wouldn’t give up, You said you would grow with me. The bombardment of hate disrupts, A time spent masking what I can see. We told each other that we’d try, We told each other we would grow. You’ve left a rotting mind to die, I see now what your actions show. But you, promised!
