broken promises

"never again.",

was the promise i made to the stars,

as i downed another bottle of tears.

i drank to keep my heart light.

if it became too heavy, i might just sink.

i jumped too soon,

dived too deep,

and loved too much.

"never again."

i had so much faith,

so much trust,

so much weight,

but your shoulders never even lifted them.

"never again."

i wandered too far from my soul,

tried to take another body,

become another form.

"never again."

i'll puke regrets,

and cry dreams after.
