Promises made never to be broken.
Alas they are broken nonetheless.
I promised I would never let anything hurt you.
Yet I hurt you without trying.
I promised to always be there for you.
I thought I was but I guess I was not.
I promised to always take care of you.
Yet I became the one needing care.
After all the promises were broken.
I promise I will never break them again.
There is no one there to listen.
I now see the only promise we can keep in the end.
Is the promise of love unconditionally no matter what happens.
