Every Promise Lost
I stand over her now
Lost in my memories
Of when you looked and sang
But now she lies before me
Just as the good times began
We promised her a light
That would shine across the land
But now too soon
She lies before us
When life reached her end
Why do say these things
Why do we stand and pray
For the future of dream of
Is not same as today
And now the promise is broken
All the good, they say, dies young
And all we know now is gone
And every promise lost
When I arrive home
Lost in my cries
I find a letter inside
It’s from long ago and sorrowful
From one I once loved more
I promise I'll be better
It says with your goodbye
It says you loved me
And now I don't know
If That was only a lie
Why do say these things
Why do we stand and pray
For the future of dream of
Is not same as today
And now the promise is broken
All the good, they say, dies young
And all we know now is gone
And every promise lost
Why does the sun set now
Can't we have more light?
So we can cry one last time
For all those who failed the climb
It says you loved me
But now I don't know
But was it only a lie?
Why do say such things
Why do we stand and pray
For the future of dream of
Is not same as today
And now the promise is broken
All the good, they say, dies young
And all we know now is gone
And every promise lost
And now the promise is broken
All the good, they say, dies young
And all we know now is gone
And every promise lost
And now the promise is broken
All the good, they say, dies young
For all we know now is gone
And every promise lost

This poem is about lost promises. Everything we've ever said to anyone that never came true due to something we cannot control. It's not a happy topic. But it was something I had to do.
