I Never Promised

by Little Dot   Jun 27, 2006


I never promised to love you
You were the only one
Who thought it would pull through

I never promised to be by your side
I told you I hated you
But you still tried

I never promised not to make you cry
I always laughed at your tears
I just wanted you to go die

I never promised to stay away
From that other girl
You saw us together one day

I never promised I wouldn't tear
Your heart into little pieces
It wasn't your heart I wanted to share

I never promised I wouldn't make fun
I loved to laugh at you with my friends
I'm not sorry I broke your heart, hun

I never promised to lay by your side
When you tried to take you life
You should have known I lied

I never promised to go
To your funeral
It was stupid to think I would show

I never promised to leave
Flowers on your grave
I will not even grieve

- This was based one the first person I ever fell in love with. This is the feeling he gave me every time I saw him. He could never stand to be around me and liked to make jokes about me with his friends. -

    Interesting way to display your first "love" but hate can spawn from misplaced actraction... so this worked well and although it didn't reach out to me i believe many others have felt the same way

    I never promised to stay away
    From that other girl
    You saw us together one day

    ^ this kind of confused me i thought you were saying this from a guys point of view before i got to the bottom i still am a bit confused on "Stay away from that other girl" since if you loved a guy i would assume you wouldn't promise to stay away from a boy but i'm sure it makes sense to you

    I never promised to go
    To your funeral
    It was stupid to think I would show

    ^interesting putting a funeral scene in the poem (although i hope he isn't dead) the stanza looks like it wouldn't flow with the length of the last line but it does.

    I never promised to leave
    Flowers on your grave
    I will not even grieve

    ^ another brillant ending you have a way of a making the ending obvious without a feeling that theere should be more

    I read a poem with the same title I do believe. They both repeated the title in every stanza, which made it strong and weak. Strong for certain stanza, and weak for others. I guess this is kind of why this poem is getting rated low. But, I will give you a nice 5 :)

    *high 5* !! woohoo!
