Promises

I've made a million promises

I know I can't keep

And I can't help but think of them

And weep

"A promise is a promise"

Until it's forgotten, broken,

Then, what? It's a failure?

A memory? A wound? A scar?

The words "I promise"

Are meaningless to me

Because so many people have said them

And then broken their promise

"I promise I will never leave you."

Ha. I promise I'll never die.

Why don't we both give it a try?
