Sand promise

You promised love whatever the weather,
That you will be with me without a break,
In the hardest storm we'll be together.
That there's nothing you won't do for my sake.

You even said you'd die if I leave you.
So you filled my heart with love to its brim
And you made me to love you through and through.
But now the light of our love has gone dim.

Like sand hills are scattered by a strong wind.
Our hearts now belong to two new strangers.
Your love, you have decided to unwind.
You now leave my feelings in grave dangers.

Now your "for better for worse" love doesn't talk.
You have stopped that love you gave round the clock.
