No promises

Had lost count 

Believing you was easy

Heart beat to the clap

With love driving fast

Without pace we landed

No promises still

Adventures began still

Hanging against the wall

Your lies captivating 

Buying that soul 

Still no promises

Begging and searching

Still no hope

Like river it didn't end

Lovely supporting 

Carrying you through

With my heart worshipping 

Your desires were held still

With trust of a pet

Still no promises

Best answer I heard

Untold truths ignored 

For pleasures of one heart

Dare to question then it fades

Poor heart trapped for good

There is no escape

With tears still waiting 

Time passed still

Love alone is not enough 

As adults we are aware

Poor heart being mislead

Still no promises

Until then there is nothing

That hope is now gone

Still holding on 

I'll let go soon I hope

Without strength then I'll dive

Deep down I'll be found again

Until then still

No promises.
