I Promise I'll Stop

I promise to stop this

The love I saved for you

I’ll bottle it up

Toss it out

Have it sent

to a toxic waste plant

I promise I’ll stop calling out to you

When all I see is brown hair

As you walk

Farther and farther away

from every moment we’ve shared

I promise I’ll stop looking into your eyes

I’ll forget the copper catching light

How captivating their innocence was

The way they made me feel

Like a deer in headlights

I promise I’ll stop listening to you

That way, I won’t hear your voice

It won’t make me want to kiss you

Won’t hypnotize me when you say

"You're beautiful"

I promise I’ll stop falling for your lies

I’ll think twice before I believe you ever

Loved me

Because all these things you do for me

You did with her first
