Do they mean anything
When they are never kept.
A promise of protection
But they make you vulnerable.
A promise against loneliness
But they leave on your own.
A promise to love
But they never show it
A promise to keep
The darkness away
But they themselves
Force the darkness to come.
Why would they do this
To their only child.
To face the world
On their own.
With no-one to turn to
When the world becomes harsh.
By leaving this world
And going to the next.
I know they never meant to
But it still hurts inside.
To know that mum and dad
Are never coming home.
That promises made
Will never be kept.
Only to become
Broken promises.
