You Promised

By K chan

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sometimes I think that I should just go. Just go to hell where They say I belong. The cross will pin me Until I pass on. Your certainty chokes You can't tell. Your ignorance helps No one but you. You promised. You don't even look When I reach. Reach for something That's just you. Because you promised You'd listen. Whenever I was hurting When I cried. Whenever I trembled You'd hold me. You promised. When I cried today I was alone. I didn't let you see A single tear. The last time I came To tell you. You forgot I needed A shoulder. Forgot I loved you Like a need. You promised. A piercing torment Trapping me. Pretending that I Still believe. Carry faith for you Even yet. When you promised That one time. Were you planning on Breaking me? You promised. I never forgot. Did you?Holiday blues. Very different from my usual, but then again my "usual" hasn't been very "usual" lately. Written December 24th, 2001 © on Dec 24 2001 01:13 PM PST   0 • 1
