My Promise
Don't whisper in my ear, with the same mouth you use to speak harshly to them
Don't caress me gently with the same hands that you use so roughly with them
Don't pay me attention, when they are left crying for just a morsel of it
Don't even look at me lovingly...I don't want any part of it
The sight of you disgusts me the way they seem to disgust you
No?
I'm wrong?
really?
Well actions speak louder than you do
And all I see is the burden inflicted on you
And it leaves me feeling conflicted on what I should do
Sometimes I think if I left, you would be able to change
Part time status...you would be free from the chains
Allow you to miss them until it hurts and you cry for them
Wanting nothing but to spend each second of your time with them
They cling to me for comfort in a time of confusion
Sensing pain in my heart they consume it like fusion
Leaving tears on my shoulder makes me bitter cold
I lash at you...for I have lost my control
I'll leave you for them without a thought of remorse
Leave you nothing but loneliness as our souls divorce
Don't test me...you'll fail, you'll fail...I promise
Don't act like I'm crazy...this is my promise!
