You Promised

by Lulu   Aug 24, 2005


I love you
You mean the world to me
I would do anything for you
I know you feel the same
You promised me you did

Can I hold you to your word?
Apparently not
Your eyes are bloodshot
You can barely stand
You promised me you'd stop

Let me go
I don't want to do this
Get off me, it hurts
Why are you smiling?
You promised me you'd never hurt me

I'm a day late, a week, a month
I'm pregnant, with your child
You seem so happy
I'm so scared
But I know your there for me
You promised me you always would be

*5 months 18 days later*

I'm getting ready for you
You want to see me tonight!
You can finally feel it kick
I'm so excited
Until I smell the whiskey
You promised me you stopped

I'm angry and upset
You say your sorry and promise again to stop
It means nothing
You promised me it always would

I turn around to leave
You grab me and bring me to the ground
I let out one more cry before your boot hits my head
And as you hold me down
I know I'll never get up
You promised me you'd always be there to help me up

I'm hurting all over
I see you walking away
I call to you, unsure
What just happened
You turn and say "Your not having my baby, not now, not ever"
You promised me you would keep it safe forever

*weeks later*

I'm all alone and afraid
I wake up to the sight of blood
The familiar cramps
You were right, I'm not having your baby, not now, not ever
Just like you promised
