For P L

Yesterday I made a promise,
That I knew I would break’
On a grandstand, I blew a kiss’
So that my life I’d make’
Shallow tears, O shallow tear!
Wicked heart, O you so wicked,
I am but a chosen smear -
In the least, I become a rich puppet.

"Yesterday I made a promise, That I knew I would break’" Why do we do that? And yet we do! Wow! You grabbed me with this one.
