"Promise"
	by Jeff Butcher

I promised I would never try,
I promised I would never die.
I promise.
Promises kept, if it makes you happy.
A promise I kept because it makes you better.
I promised you would never cry,
I promised you I would never lie.
I promise.
Promises that keep us all in line,
A promise I kept to keep you mine.
A promise.
Promising kept it all this way,
I keep promising to hope you stay.
A promise kept,
a promise broken.
I promised you I'd never die,
now I have so where am I?
A promise never kept,
breaking all my promise at the stop of a heart.
