Empty Promises (Revised)

I could get down on my knees if that’s what you need...
Could swallow my pride, cross my fingers, beg forgiveness
For every supposed slight against you, real or imagined.
I could promise you the moon and stars to turn around,
Could promise to reign my temper, to not get even,
And while I’m at it, let you walk all over me for a day.
I could promise to never confront you for all your lies,
Could promise away everything to serve your every whim
And to lay my life at your feet if you’d only ask. Then re-neg.
But then I’d be just like you. Unbelievable. Unexplainable. Evil.
And my heart won't let me make that mistake again

You let your emotions flow through your pen where you release wonderfully, along similar lines of this write you might want to check out Toby Keith's song "lost you anyway". On a lighter note yay I got internet. :)

Thank-ya hun, i'll be sure to check that song out then ^o^. he hee Yay For internet, without it we'd all go a lil crazy.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
