promise

promises promised

promises promises

we were promised a dream

delivered a nightmare

from a promise far too sweet

into an absence now so bitter

creating lives incomplete

this void fills it with chaos

and promises, more promises

dreams to hide the nightmare

it's all right around the corner

I promise I promise

what we were promised

it is a nightmare

this dream I promise

I just made a promise! This poem is so right on time, damn it! I can stay in my nightmare, but I won't back!
Great poem tho

Dont fret, the dream and the nightmare are actually the same thing... it just depends upon your disposition. Smoke some grass and listen to Bob Marley sing Don't Worry Be Happy and you will be closer to the dream. I promise. I actually promise this time*

Hahaha no I'm against all kinda s oke or even alcohol.and this promise was about that! But wishing you the best sir!

[Davidgeo]

Fair enough. You should still listen to that song. You don't need to be high to feel good off Bob's music.

I'll listen Silver Lining by Mt. Joy first. "Drink your wine, smoke your *** ,my brother, let the heart still beat"
"But if it's the dr**s, the women, the wine, the w***
The love that took everything I own
Just take it"

Powerful poem. There is a huge traffic in here. Promises are poisons

[Davidgeo]

Promises rhymes with narcissist. I think half the population might be evil whether they know it or not Thanks for reviewing me. I wish you luck in your dreams within the nightmare.
