Promise, You Won't Tell

I swore to you, 

I'd keep my word.

But did you?

Not as heard.

I told you about the things that I liked.

But then the secrets got darker.

I was commiting to your trust,

You wrote your name on my heart, with a permanent marker.

I seemed to do just fine on my own,

'Til I opened up to you.

You made me feel special,

Turning my heart into goo.

But then one day,

You manipulated the truth.

Spreading rumours

Of how I'm some sort of kissing booth.

I'd thought you keep it,

I'd thought you wouldn't tell.

You said you promised,

And I bought your bullshit, and I fell.
