Poetry

This is a book of short poems that I occasionally write. They don't really have a specific type, just random emotions that I feel are portrayed here.

"No Promises"

I hate that phrase

Uncertainty

Fear

Unassurance

All follow after that phrase

I loathe it

Like the Grinch loathes Christmas

It's evil, cruel, unjust

Why can't you just answer with "promise"

And so what if it's a lie?

Just say it for the hell of it

Just say it

Promise

Keep saying it until mumma's happy

Is it that hard, kiddo?

One word and you can disappear

I won't even stop you 'cause I'll be too happy that you promised

Cross your fingers behind your back and say "promise"

I'll be the happiest

And I won't even call out as you see into the darkness

I'll be too happy to even notice you're gone....
