PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sugar coated promises don't take me very far

Because in the end, I'm always wishing on the same milky white star

I've left behind bruises and hold many of my own

And I'm really tired of closing my eyes and seeing it all alone

So when a new hope runs into my life

I immediately crash into a difficult strife

I hold on tight on such little hope

And I kill it so fast it's like I'm choking it with a rope

Nothing's new, I always crash and burn

"Whitney, stop. Look around and learn."

Learn from what? Happiness and a fairytale?

Always someone else's story and my prince decides to bail

Promises are such a f*cking waste

The sound of your voice no longer saves me and the details are left untraced

I'm not okay, I can promise you that much

Your words are no longer mine and our hearts never once touched

So this time, I'll walk away slowly, I'll let it all go

I'll fight back the liquid drops and the anger in my fists as you say it isn't so
