You promised, you liar.

You promised me you'd be around when everyone else left me alone.
You promised you wouldn't go behind my back and fuck with my past.
You promised that you wouldn't lie when I asked you a question.
You promised you'd be there for me when everyone else wasn't.
You promised you would tell me anything when something happened.
You promised that you would be the higher person.
You promised you'd say if you needed something, really.
You promised that if you were in trouble, with anything, you'd let me know.
You promised that your best friends and family came before stupid fucks.
You promised that you woudn't let anyone be pushed away from anything.
You promised that you would go for your goal in life and never let anyone or anything in the way of accomplishing it.
You promised me that you would talk even after our distance thickened.
You promised that you were a good person and didn't feed off of stupid choices.
You promised you'd be there for yourself and be okay with your choices.
You promised your mother that you would be a good kid, not like your sister and have a kid.
You promised your best friends that you would be a good person and help out others in need.
You promised you wouldn't be a skank, cheat, or lie; those aren't mistakes, they're lifetime choices.
You promised that you wouldn't fall back into the dependence that we, girls, have longed for to end.
You made so many promises that you either couldn't bare to keep or just broke them because you didn't want to deal with it.
Don't make a promise you're not going to keep.
So many promises; you promised, you fucking liar.
