"I promise, I'll do better."

My heart shrinked,
My body shuddered,
Everytime I hear that word.

Better, better, better.

Because I know how it feels,
Because I know how it hurts.

When you had give your best.
And it's still not enough.
Nothing is ever enough.

"I promise, I'll do better."
Tagging at the bottom of his shirt.
Grasping for that speck of hope,
He will not leave.

He left.
