Empty Promises

“I won’t leave you”

A promise never kept.

An empty promise,

A lie that is told too often.

And is very rarely true.

They promise to stay,

And help you,

And make you happy.

But no one ever stays.

They always leave.

For many different reasons,

But they still go.

They never truly say goodbye.

They come in your life and light it up,

Make it the best it’s ever been.

Then they take that light and happiness

And rip it out of you.

Then walk through that door.

Slamming it shut.

So, you lock it.

So, no one else can ever come in.

They know,

And ring the doorbell.

But you’ve learned…

To never open that door.

Ever

Again.

It's hard to get burned many times but don't get discouraged. The right one will come around.

And yet comes a time that you do ...that you NEED to... open - that door again. It is what we as humans do ...hope.
