you said forever, but
you lied, so i
replaced you with someone
who lied better

he made me feel loved, and
he, was grateful
and he was kinder than
you ever was

instead of his hands he
used pretty words
but in the end, you all
leave, the same marks

and im not sure, which kind,
which hurt, felt worse
but i promise, this time
i will learn

never again
will i consider, this lie
this concept,
the promise of forever
