You Promised Me

That you would always be there
that you would never hurt me
that you would give me your all
and that you would be my number 1 guy

You promised to be true 
you promised to never let anyone tempt you
to leave me or to make you question being with me
I though that I was the only girl you wanted in your life?

Saying that you LOVE me is a promise within itself
and you told me that you loved me
All the time...
Well why did you break that promise?

What happen to being there like “The Jackson 5"?
Aren’t you a man of your word?
But your actions speak louder than you words
and breaking your promises says a lot about you.

You broke all of your promises.
You aren’t there for me
You hurt me
and you betrayed me

Worst of all you lied to me.
That is not acceptable
especially when I was so understanding.
You really hurt me and I want you to know that.

But...I am trying to move on.
