You promised me.
The day you saw me crying, you promised.
you said you would never leave me.
I'd never feel that way again, you said.
And the funny thing is that I believed you.
I listened when you said that.
I prayed to god that you meant it.

but then things got bad.
I started crying more and you didn't know what to do.
but for awhile you stuck around.
telling me everything would be okay.
I still believed you.
I believed it through it all.
when you stopped talking to me, I still believed it.
When the texts stopped, I believed it.
I kept on beliving it.
I believed it up until the day I was crying and you didn't come running.

you left me alone to cry and that's when I knew you were just like everyone else.
