Black Words

Vows and promises
Things unkept

Always said
Never meant

A oath to the wind
that carries its message
distorts and destroys

It flows through
the air
It flairs
And it flashes

Nothing more
than an oath

You never intended
to keep

Black words
like ashes
they crumble

Your world
dark
a scandal

I promised you
a life

You promised me
a lie

I promised you
forever

You promised me
goodbye

But thank you
in the end

All the ashes lit
a fire
All the crying
drowned my
sorrow

All you did
was make me
stronger
