promised_me_poems
misstree Terry Hall :
I ruse the day that I ever met you,
And deeply regret you getting close to me.
I cannot wait to deeply neglect you,
Deeply forget you, Jesus believe me
You promised me poems.
You might have been my reason for livin'
I gave up on givin', gave up everything.
We were a right pair of believers
A couple of dreamers,
So how come you hate me?
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
Promised me poems

i can taste the air and sense them,
but the brilliant boquets that i claim
as my right

a trap awaits me this weekend,
a gentleman whom i once,
long ago,
wrote a poem for.

such strange cycles cannot be ignored,
even if i know it's only bait.
