promise

Promise looked me in the eyes,
and lied to my face.
Promise took me by my hand,
and led me to a missing place.
Promise picked me up,
then he let me down.
Promise talked and talked,
but never made a sound.
Promise shook my hand,
then he turned and walked away.
Promise filled my heart with hope,
that turned into depressing pain.
Promise was my friend,
but then he told me lies.
Now, with Promise by my side,
each day is filled with disappointing sighs.
