A promise, by definition is
a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing
Or that a particular thing will happen
Promises are made everyday
                       Hundreds
                            of
                     ­   Millions
But so many of them are broken
But why are they broken, some may ask
But promises you see
Are nothing
They mean absolutely nothing
They are not a bone that will hurt when broken
They are just a bunch of words
Spoken from one person to another
A rule being set in place
"We will be together forever"
"I will never cheat on you, ever"
I've heard it all
               But rules are set
                                To be broken
                                             So promises are made
                                                            ­     **To be broken
I'm sick of promises being held to such a high standard, they all (at one point or another) get broken.
