New Promises

I don't make promises that I don't intend to keep, but your lies turn me around-or so it seems. I don't tell lies, but you couldn't just let things be. Look at me right now, and what you've done to me. You made me lie within those shattered promises. I owe you nothing because you've ruined me in this. You see, those promises, I never would have made if not for you, but I don't take them back today. So, now, now promises, and these I know I'll keep. They're not for you though, these promises to me. I promise that I won't hurt myself in any way, and as for you-I guess I won't today. I promise the tears that you know you have caused will forever-now-permanently pause. I promise that the life that you took away has come back to me, and will stay past today. I promise simple things that I intend to keep. And now that you are gone, I promise these to me.
