A Promise I Can Keep

by xan-abyss

I just wanna say You look beautiful today But I hope that was something That you knew anyway I'd just like to see you smile at me Right now I'd let you lie to me Because today I'm weak As you can see Broken down, worn out, depressed and losing sleep I don't know what to do Because my friends all left with you So I'm back to being alone With nobody to talk to. I never meant you harm Or wished you any sorrow A heart as pure as yours Is something I'm unfit to borrow And I really should have known That you were more than I deserve But I was blinded by your radiance And did my best to make us work. I want to say 'I love you' And want to hear it back But I'm old enough to know better Than to just relapse like that And I wish that I could hold you I'd say 'for one last time' But I know myself too well by now And I can't stand goodbyes. I will ALWAYS love you And that's a promise I can keep But you are an Angel And I am a Monster And NEVER the twain should meet.

I wrote this about my ex while she sat behind me in class. It's been almost a year and she still doesn't know about it.
