What He Told Me

he said, as he wiped the tears out of my eyes that everything will be ok he promised me that things would work out and i smiled and said thanks. he said, as i wiped the tears out of my eyes that i can't keep thinking about this he promised me that he'd be there forever and i looked away and said thanks. he said, as we laughed over jokes that he didn't believe in love he promised me that someday i'd understand and i looked through him and said thanks. i tried to wash away the tears tonight let them fall away never to be seen again but old battle wounds were reopened as a few new ones were formed. i saw their effects on my bruised body, holes left where emptiness should never be seen the promises we made were supposed to last through eternity, but i have yet to see them fulfilled. logic knows no bound in the challenges of life - something as simple as the vernacular of us can be mistaken in many different ways. your eyes, though steady, could decieve your wishes and show what you need inside. he said, as we were on the phone that he loved me he promised me that he still cared but i laughed and said yeah right.
