Promises in the dark...

We make promises to ourselves
in the dark
when no one else can hear
We shatter those promises with
first light

We fear love
in the dark
in the light we
cringe at the sight
of the person in the mirror

Feeling forsaken
in the dark
When no one else can hear
we forsake ourselves
Breaking the promises...always

Lonely survivors
in the dark
in the light
in the day
in the night

Promises are meant to be
honored, always
in the dark
in the light
in the mirror
