Forever

It keeps building inside, until I've nothing to hide
Then it spills out if me, just like a secret melody
A broken tune, played not on something new
But something old and broken, that only cost a token

It fills my heart with regret, learning the secrets you kept
Hidden by one I love, only to send them off above
To somewhere I can't reach, or hear the words they preach
No longer able to see the face, or feel the warm embrace

The tears stain my cheeks, but I live on through the weeks
Asking the question why, only to break down and cry
Wishing you kept the oath, the one solely for us both
Sworn under the stars, as you joked about following me to mars

Did you think of my face as you wept?
Did you remember the promise made as you left?
The one where you said I'd be alone never
The one where you promised me forever
