Broken Promises...

For every verbal promise
That you have made
To me
I have made 
A silent vow
To you... 

While you have run
And hidden
These truths 
From yourself
I have been true 
To every single one
Whether you were
Aware or not.... 

The pain of your deceit
Has numbed my soul
To the point where
Even this blade
Dancing across my tender wrists
Offers no release
From the shackles
Of being bound to you... 

And as the blood drips
From the tips of my fingers 
Slowly to the ground
And the world fades 
into darkness
I make you
One final vow.... 

I will never hold 
These broken promises
Against you
In this world
Or the next...

~S~
