Promises

I don't know why the promises are broken
Like your every mistake they are unspoken
Why do you even make them in the first place?
A stain on my wounded past that I can't erase.

You wanna wash all my memories away from you
After all, its the only thing left to do
Never thought I would ever see you leaving
But its all that I'm left to believe in.

Don't you go, leaving me weak and undone
I thought I could create our own Eden
So don't you go, I can see you are afraid
I never said it would be easy but its not a charade.

I wanna speak but you don't wanna listen
This time I was failed by my own intuition
Never thought you always only played me
I can't undo now what you have made me.

Have a look in the future that you are making
My heart is healing but still its aching
When its done I just might regret my past
But I know for sure you'll be the one crying in the last.

Your promises still haunt me in my dreams
Like the promises of those soulless regimes
I'll take my time and eventually walk away
But this time, only this time, I'll have the last say.
