Everlasting Promise

You give me a tale, of an everlasting promise.
I wake to see the day, of a promise yet come true.
Where were you when my world came down, not
with thy faithful promise, of course.

You took everything I had, and never gave any back.
I watched the clock, as life went on out side of my
walls. I never once doubted you, until the day
I realized you were unfaithful.

You broke every promise to me.
To protect me.
To love me.
To help me.
To keep all promises.
To be safe.
But most importantly
to get help.

You took it to far one day,
now that everlasting promise,
is burned into my head, for
every lifetime.

Just know you were my promise of peace.
