I promised

I think the point I was getting at was how sometimes you help people, and when they're okay, they leave you all alone.

I promised you I would stay

To make you okay

I kept that promise

But when you were okay

It was you who didn’t stay

There’s not more I can tell you

About the wrong you do

But it shouldn’t have ended this way

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

You expressed this circumstance brilliantly, concisely and powerfully. Good form, flow and rhyme. Yes, some people that we help turn out to be "users"- that bites. But the fact that we cared enough to help is what matters. Love this!
