Promise

You promised you wouldn’t leave me.

You promised you wouldn’t hurt me.

And yet, you left me to stitch up the lifeless remains you broke my heart into.

It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

How you made so many promises you thought you could keep

You believed you could keep.

How you made so many promises you thought would make me feel better

Would make me feel loved.

How you used the word ‘promise’ just to give me hope.

Fake hope.
