Promises

A promise is something your suppose to keep...
Made from the heart way down deep...
A promise of love means zip...
When life sends you on a trip...

I held on to those words I said...
I would have held on even if I were dead...
My loyalty undying...
While I stayed here trying...

But you could not...
You say you forgot...
The promise I made...
Your love for me began to fade...

I did everything to prove my word true...
My love still burned for you...
Yet you still broke my heart...
And my world fell apart...

You met another...
And I became just a brother...
Not even that anymore...
You kick my memory right out the door...

You left me with anguish and pain...
As I stand here in the rain...
You left my soul dead...
A hunger still left unfed...

Words are just words I guess...
As I watch you in that dress...
Down the aisle you walk...
No one with the will to talk...

I stare at you and him...
As the lights go dim...
You both lean in to kiss...
The one I will surely miss...

Applause from the crowd...
Oh how they are proud...
You smile and look at them all...
As they cheer and call...

Out of the corner of your eye you spy me...
Standing there for the world to see...
You can’t help but stare...
As you go pale and your face bare...

Your other spies you then me...
I am all you both can see...
My pain, my scorn...
You have forced me to adorn...

A man with a blade in his fist...
Steps out of the mist...
His eyes burn with passion...
As he lunges in an assassins fashion...

But before he can hit his mark...
His world goes dark...
As a flying blade hits him...
The lights still dim...

Your life has been spared...
Your face still pale and scared...
You look at me one last time...
As the bell begins to chime...

I bow with respect you do not deserve at all...
As you’re other begins to call...
They wrap you in a hug...
And hold you like their drug...

You lose sight of me...
And when you finally get to see...
You find that I'm not there...
Only a note with my finally words to bare...

You take it and read it aloud...
To the crowd that was once so proud...
Tears fall from your eyes...
As you read my finally goodbyes...

"I saved your life today...
Why I will not say...
Even though you betrayed me...
And said our love could never be...


I'm not that heartless...
Like you there in that dress...
See I keep my promise to you...
My love still burns pure and true...

I could have let his blade kill...
And cause all the pain it would instill...
But I chose to let you live...
As the last thing I could give...

So now it is goodbye...
There is no point to try...
So enjoy your new life with your other...
From your long lost and dead "brother"..."
