Whisper broken promises
I’ve heard them all before
Tell me all your excuses
I have them memorized word for word
Tell me pretty lies
Nothing you can do is new
The precedent was set before I was born-
Before anything had to do with you.
Just please promise you will stay
Because he never did.
Now I sit here and wait
Waiting for your text,
Waiting for his call,
Or for the letter signed-
Love,
Dad
