PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Don't promise me dreams so easily broken

just another wish, a worthless token

I'm so easily fooled and stupidly mislead

get to needing more than what's in my head

just empty thoughts of a future laid out

but nothing concrete, that's not what its about

given new life by the want to be together

whispers of 'I love you' followed by 'forever'



Well, forever is a long time as you well know

my feelings grow strong then melt down like snow

because nothing is simple, it always goes wrong

I can't expect things to work out, I'm not that strong

You keep saying things will improve, we'll have our way

but I've had my fill right now, these games I can't play

My mind concentrates on the worst, the lonely days I see

the constant reminder that you're not here next to me



So until I see that day, don't promise anymore

I can't take those kind of dreams, those lies I can't endure

Until I see the future with my own two weary eyes

I don't want to hear the things to be, just let the present rise

at least then I know the truth, all that is to be

instead of thoughts filled with doubt and this uncertainty

I love you dearly, and I'll never let you go

but never say forever, until we know it's so...
