Promises & Lies

by Jasmine Nichol
(St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada)

When I Looked At You,
I Knew Your Heart Was True
But Then After A Year,
I See You Again With A Tear
I Promised You There Will Be No More Pain
But Also, My Life Was Going Insane
You Made Me Promise There Will Be No More Cuts
You Looked In My Eyes & Said I Was A Diamond In The Ruts
I Know I Am Young But The Moment I Saw You
I Am Going To Marry You, I Knew
But Then There Was A Little Fight
I Cut My Wrist With All My Might
You Don't Want Me & I Want You
You Made Me Feel Like I Wasn't New
I Want You Know, I Need You Bad
This Is Why I Am So Sad
Promises & Lies
& Lots & Lots Of Sighs
