Broken Promises
{Written by, Candice Landis ©2013}
"Oh I Promise!" Someone Will Declare
Usually Followed By A Heart Felt "I Swear"
Promises To Always Be There, To Always Care
A Promise Kept These Days Is Very Rare
Some Will Make Excuses Filled With Regret
About Why Their Promise Could Not Be Kept
Others Just Shrug It Off With A Feeble. "I Tried"
Not Really Careing That They Lied
Never Make Promises You Know You Can't Keep
Once Broken, Your Words Become Meaningless And Cheap
You Can No Longer Be Trusted Or Believed
When You Break A Promise To Me
Some Are Made With Honest Intent
Must Be Broken Because Of Unexpected Events
When That Happens Get In Touch
Or Else I'll Think I Just Didn't Matter Very Much
Broken Promises Are Like Repeating The Same Mistake
You Can Say You're Sorry Till You're Blue In Face
But After So Many Times, Little Difference Does It Make
For Never Again, Anything At Your Word Will I Take
