《The Poetry Collection》A Promise in Four Acts

Advertisement

Act I

I'm sorry that I wasn't enough for you

To love me when I needed you

Leaving me alone after everything

Leave me to my vices and anxieties

Because you know I'm too scared to die

Scrambling the wires in my brain

Translating the lines by my eyes

Or the rules I broke to keep you

All for nothing and I knew it would be

When nobody can keep anything

Let alone a promise even

A pinky can't keep

Not that you planned on it anyway

Act II

Smoke dancing on your bottom lip

Long time whispers filter through my curls

The smell of your last cigarette

Heavy on your breath with reassurance

And a promise is a promise

Cut my hair and change my name

But you say you'll always be there

Beg me to run away with you and

I promise I will think about it

Overthinking is my specialty

I am sorry it may not be enough

Act III

Lead me into my vices like hard candy

Bite to break or melt me on your tongue

I promise to try to love you

But I will love your mind for now

Pretend I never left and you will too

Act like you never hurt

Because we are both stronger than that

Leave the psychos behind

And link together broken pinkies

Mind you, I am scared it is just pretend

Take it slow and for your sake

I hope that it is enough

Act IV

I hope that you are enough

To pull my mind back from its flight

Across the country and back to him

Broken promises I never intended to break

He broke them for me

And I hope that you have the glue

Brace my body or at least my mind

Prepare me for that paradise

Or at least your promises

Because I try not to make them

I never wanted to break any

But I promise

I will break more than your pinky

If you break my heart
