Hollow Promises

Poem

Your lips are prison bars

Your words is like a razor

Carving into my heart these scars

Prosecution colliding with my demented intuition

While your tongue dance the dance

Like a drunk ballerina practicing her prance

The animal in me is roaring

My human of me is scoring

I stand to pledge allegiance to my soul rights

But instead my voice froze cold with stage fright

There is a battlefield in my corner with wilted roses

The door to courage slowly closes

Will I wait my fate?

Or run towards that golden gate?

People in my court cheers

The legislative branch of my mind invites fear

I gotta stand up

Face myself in the midst of burning glory

Somersaulting and cartwheeling my rights

Across the heads of the jury

I will renounce my verdict

While the future; the media tries to predict

This is my declaration of honesty

While you fan your sweaty face with subpoena papers and cryptic policies

See this is what happens when you make hollow promises

Guilt will forever haunt you when you trespass on its premises

Author's Note

This is about when people promise you something and I mean it's a really big promise but when its time for that promised to be fulfilled, they either ignore you or act like they never promised you that special something. One word: Irritating. xBloodSkyex
