Promises

[zookeeper]

Promises
Of help
Of hope
Of healing.
How long do I have to keep believing in

Promises
Of phone calls never made
Of lunches never eaten
Of prayers never spoken
You say you understand, but how would I know with these

Promises
Of love never given
Of understanding never gained
Of pain never lessened
You gave me promises and walked away
And now empty words are all that's left, just hands full of broken promises.
