Promises :: TheLateBloomer :: Original Poetry

Promises

You told me to fight for every breath,

But then you yourself gave in to death.

I stayed alive just for you

Because I thought you’d stay here with me too.

I kept my promise, though you broke yours,

And I lived my life, I opened new doors.

I could never forget how you left me there,

Though I thought you wouldn’t, because you cared.

No, that’s not fair, you wouldn’t have gone,

It’s not your fault you didn’t live to see dawn.

I’m saddened that you didn’t live for me,

But I guess that’s the way it was meant to be.
