Promises
i promised myself
i wouldn't cry
not this time or any other
never again
tears sting my eyes tonight
but are blinked back
stopped before they spill
to fall in soft streams
i harden my heart
i will turn away if i have to
block your words out of my mind perhaps
and ignore the pain
for you see, i promised myself
i wouldn't cry
and i'm not going to
Back
