The Promises We Took Poem by Sham AlSaadi

Our story starts
In the end of December
But it ends
On the middle of September
9 months,26 days
Just vanished like this

It had lovely memories
Now they're ghosts
Running around us
It had lovely days
But they're gone …

The words he gave
The promises we took
Ya, they're al gone …

He promised he'll be there
Said he'll never let me go
He broke them
When he said '' I can't go on ''

I stood, I fought
I gave everything I had
He just gave up
On our first real fight
He said he was tired
From all the problems
Well, I was sick of them too
He had to try
But he didn't give an offer
Cause he didn't want to

'' it'll be endless ''
'' it'll never o down ''
Hearts, hearts everywhere
They're all gone …

I guess I loved him
More than he says he did
Cause it's about what you do
Isn't that what he said?

Look clearly at '' us '' I mean
The '' we won't break as friends ''
To work don't seem
Told you it won't
But you kept your mind steam
Didn't care
And acted like a mean

I'm here
Writing about you
About the promises you didn't keep
You're there, don't care
Too far away
From me

Chatting, talking with your new friends
And being the person I do really miss
Sharing things
You used to share with me
You used to tell them to me
Buying me kit Kats
Giving me books
Staying up late, having talks
Being there when I needed you the most

But you used to, used to, used to be there
And I use to, use to, use to believe
That we used to, used to, used to be together
And you used to, used to, used to love me.
