I promise

"I promise, I promise
to stay by your side."
So where are you now?
Looks like you lied.
"I promise I promise
we'll always be friends."
Another torn promise,
you ran in the end.
It wouldn't be right
to beg or to cry.
You don't have to wait
for an old friend to die.
You don't need to stay
when your heart wants to run.
you've done enough now
you loaded my gun
you opened the bottle
put the pills in my palm
and left me alone,
to wait for the calm.
"I promise to write
I promise to call."
I sat by the window
as spring turned to fall.
"I promise, I promise"
now look what you've done
in so many words
you loaded my gun.

......so much it seems the words of Man. But as said, the world's a stage and people are but the players. Written in thought of how it would be like to have to wait for someone...to wait....and wait......in vain.
