What did you mean by I promise?
Is it that you promise to be here when the times are rough and the nightmares keep me awake?
Or that you promise to be here when the times are good and my smiles are fake?
I still feel your warmth as if you were standing right here next to me
But, I don't need it anymore because it is nothing but a lie
You were my helpline, took me away from the tight grip of death
Now you are nothing but a stranger in the hallways
I mourned over losing you because you brought me a step closer to the light
Helping me in my fight
Then I stop to remember that you dropped the ball
Because you had promised
To give me a quick fix that would get me through it all
You are still my drug, but I'm no longer the compulsive addict
Now I've moved on, losing you has only made me stronger
Made me more self-reliant
I have come to the realization that I don't need a figure to keep me going
I only need my God.
You promised.
But, it was nothing but empty words
You lied through your teeth
And in my broken state, I desperately fell for it
However, now I'm not broken, I'm just lost in the dark
And you are no longer my flashlight
But you had promised.
