I promised
I promised to love you for all my life
but I let the pain take that away
I promised to honor and cherish all the
good and bad times but I let hardship
and selfishness come into play
I promised you comfort and sirene times alone
but I let worry and strife take over that day
I promised to hold you high in my heart above
my own but I let bad memories and dreadful thoughts
hurt with the words I say
I promised to forgive no matter what the cause triumph
over the negative things but I let impatience non communication and self denial take what I was to forgive take its place
I promised to be there when ever you needed me to hold you close in my comforting arms but I let neglect and
anger and bondage push you away
I promised to listen and stand by you forever but I let not
loving myself stressed to the max take our love astray.
