Broken Promises

by Jeannette Lopez   May 29, 2007


Have you ever felt really excited about something that was later taken away?
When someone promises you somthing but brakes it,
Doesn't it drop all the hopes it raised?

Did you ever keep believing or insisting that maybe someday they'll change?
But were hurt to find out
That it's the same thing in every way?

Ever since I was little I'd hear my dad promise me so many things
But when the big day or ocassion would come up,
All I'd hear were the excuses he'd start giving me.

Tears would fall as my hopes would drop and my heart would automatically brake
But for some weird reason I'd still get excited
When I'd hear another "promise" being made.

Promises of forever loves; Promises of forever friendships
But when those promises get broken,
Tears would slide down to my lips.

I hate the fact that I fall for all of them; trusting people who only promise lies
I hate having to hate them for braking a simple promise
And for lying while looking into both my eyes.

Every single person who promised me fantasies has let me down when they never come true
It feels as though they all want me to smile at first,
But then frown when they laugh as they say it was never true.

So I don't wanna believe anymore, whatever "promises" they want me to believe
Because whenever I let people get close to me,
They end up disappointing me and then they leave.
