Empty promises.

I remember when I was kid, when everything was fine, when the sky was always blue and the stars always twinkled. But, then I fell deep, deep into the ocean. The ocean was all around me, with its deep blues, it felt like the sky I was so fond of looking to, but it was different; it was too somber. I remember having a competition of how long you can hold your breath with my friends, it felt like that. That I have to hold myself longer and not give up, or I don't know what will happen. In that moment, I closed my eyes. I imagined myself under a billion stars

and lied to myself that I was there.

Empty promises, that was the things that  I told myself. Every single breath I took became a lie, I wanted to look up, to open my eyes. To see the real  sky.

Empty promises,

they made me cry but I still swallowed the poison,

and called it love.

Empty promises, love me and give me the stars

even if they are fake.
