Promises and Memories

Promises and Memories Promises, they say
Are made to be broken
We make them, everyday
But most are always forgotten.
Memories, I know
Always die with time
Some go fast, some slow
But soon, they all sublime.
The promises we make
The memories we made
They make us or break
Our hearts alive...or dead.
Promises and memories
Keep us stronger, still going
Happy amidst the worries
We live on, always hoping.
Promises must exist
Even if lies lie in them
Memories must enlist
For in them lies life's emblem
Lies.
