You promised...

I sat by the window
I waited for hours
You never came
But you promised

I sat by the phone
I waited for days
You never called
But you promised

I sat by the mail box
I waited for months
You never wrote
But you promised

Later I gave up
I waited for years
You never followed through
Even though you promised

To my father who promised me things to give me hope, but only hurt me more
