Broken Promise
Written to Stormie J.
For every promise made,
A hope is born.
But for every promise broken,
A heart is torn.
Here I am, waiting–
Wondering when you’ll call.
Wondering if it matters,
If you ever cared at all.
Speak to me, show me you’re willing.
I just need you to hear me out.
Just take me seriously,
And please don’t make me shout.
The irritation is growing–
The threat of something broken.
Why aren’t you there?
I’m tired of being a free token.
I’m not a backup,
Someone to make empty promises to.
If you wanna play games, then you know what–
Screw you.
I’ll lay here, trying to sleep,
Trying not to feel heartless.
But, I know inside,
I’ll never forget your broken promise.

Written a couple weeks after my move, the summer before my junior year, when I was heavily relying on friends to be there for me.
