I Promised

I promised you eternity
I promised you forever
I said we would have each other
For the worse and for the better

I promised you my hand
I promised you my heart
I gave you my innocence,
And promise to never be apart

I promised you my kids
I promised you my life
I said we would be forever
and one day be your wife

I promised you everyday
I promised you too much
I said it would be forever
Now we barely stay in touch

I promised you by my side
I promised you hand in hand
I said we would be together
With all we can withstand

I promised you the truth
I promised you no lies
Now what am I to say
when every night I cry

I promised you a kiss
I promised you dry eyes
But what am I to say
When tears are all I find

I know I promised you everything
One the phone and to your face
But I say it in a poem
Another has filled your place
