Pinky Promise

  
You smile and you say, I promise, I’ll never leave;

Over, and over, and over again. 

I smile and I say, I promise I’ll control my temper, and I’ll treat you well;

Over, and over, and over again.

Promises meant the world to me, they were what shaped me, 

My dad beat me whenever I broke a promise.

And he said to fight for what you want, so I did.

I really did.

But eventually, some promises cannot be kept.
