Broken Promise

• Artist: Thrwawy
• Description: This is a poem I wrote for my cousin when I found out he was doing drugs and lied about it, we found him out, but the damage was done, I worte this to tell him how things would progress if he kept up his lifestyle this way...he stopped using and now has goals in life...I'm glad I wrote this for him, I think it helped him see from another person's point a view...

I promised you I'd never leave
I never thought you'd be the one gone

I promised you we'd stay best friends
But our lives split and now it's done

I promised to be at your wedding day
I didn't know it would never come

I promised to be there when the child was born
But a miscarriage hit quick and then some

I promised to pull you through after your car crashed
I didn't know your drinking caused it

I promised you could tell me all of your secrets
But the pills in your desk, made me feel sick

I promised you that rehab would help you
When you went too far and overdosed

I promised to visit you everyday
Then you killed yourself, the case then closed

I promised to be at the funeral that day
To hold you family who cried

I kept every promise you ungrateful jerk
But in my arms you still died

It is a beautiful poem with a lot of potential, but comes off as awkward to me, since some rhymes and some doesn't. Great job though!
