PROMISES

To Kurt

People come and people go

Promised made to and fro

Holding on to promised untold

Unaware of what will unfold

Deep inside you know it’s a lie

Coated with colored sugary dye

Expectations can make you cry

Does it holds true if my eyes are dry?

A Moment and a breath to hold forever

Was it true or a cloying favor

And the care that came as a package

Seems now, more like a baggage

Does it matter if one of them care?

As long as it’s not a two sided affair

Promises made are awfully vulnerable

That’s what makes them so valuable
