Promises Poem by Tsunami HiroshiSu

Tonight
Under the sheet
I'll hold the candle
As we share secrets and lies
Make choices
Make promises

Scare away the monsters
I dare you
Promise to save me
If I fall
Promise to find me
When I'm lost

I'll keep my promises
If you keep yours
Forget what I said
We all lied that night anyway
Just you promise
To save me when I'm scared

Keep my secrets
Hold onto my lies
That you don't know aren't true
Keep your promise
Because you think I will

Broken
I promised not to lie
But when you asked
I knew you couldn't know
I promised not to hurt you

I cross my heart
You know I'd die
Promise me you aren't as bad at this as I am

Promises
Lies
Secrets
Truth or dare?

I promise to keep all the promises I made tonight
In the dark
In the silence
All alone
I promise not to cry
