Promises

Yvonne Yvette

Made with good intentions
Broken with bad recollections

Don't pick me up
Only to let me down

Don't love me
Only to hurt me

Don't hold me
Only to leave me lonely

Don't whisper sweet nothings
Only to yell and swear at me

Promise me nothing so I can go on
Without becoming a sad love song.
