The Promises We Make
The meant yet empty
Promises we make
At any given point in time
throughout our past
However heartfelt are made armed
with whatever information we have at hand
Like I will always keep you safe save
you from the shepherd's crook
Never make you choose or ever give
you up
Are sadly also susceptible to the
elements of time
Because everything in life can change
in a single moment instantaneously
And make the very last words that you uttered
and came out your mouth
The very next second seem disingenuous
and even hard to justify
Leaving you with egg all over your face
And worst of all a loved one questioning
The true value of your relationship
And whether or not they can actually
in fact believe
Anything you have to say in future
Or have said in the past
Even if at the time you we're telling the
truth not lying
